Power BI Report Server upgrade version and OS
Are you planning to upgrade the server OS on the machine itself , or do you create a new server?
Thanks for replying! I did see if going this route to upgrade the OS in-place need to first upgrade OS from 2012 to 2016 and then to OS 2022. BUT.....I know the current version I have of Power BI Report Server will not run on OS version 2022. And I mis-spoke earlier my current Power BI Report Server is May 2022. I was searching to see what hardware May 2022 will run on but cant find that old documentation.
Do I have to do multiple steps, upgrade to PowerBI Report Server to the highest version that will run on OS 2012.
Then upgrade OS to windows 2016 and also upgrade again to the highest version of PowerBI Report Server.
Then upgrade OS to windows 2022 and finally the latest version of Power Bi Report Server January 2025.
Sounds like that's what you may have to do. Maybe you can skip the 2016 part of the process - not sure.
I'm not a user of PowerBI...if we go the route of building new, is there a way to script out all the reports and they can be redeployed on the new build?
