Upgrading Server 2008R2 to Server 2016 w/ Dynamics GP 2013

Hello all,

 

I am new to this community, but have been using it as a resource (particularly the table listing) for a while now.

I have two separate servers running Windows Server 2008R2, a Terminal Server (Where my Dynamics GP 2013 installation sits) and a SQL server.

I am going to do an in-place upgrade on these servers to upgrade to Windows Server 2016.  I'll clone both servers and do this in a test environment first, but before I get that far, I figured I would ask if anyone has any experience with this.  After this is done, I have a GP VAR who will help me upgrade GP to Dynamics 2018, but I need to move away from Server 2008R2 ASAP (no longer supported by Microsoft).

Is there anything that I need to look out for, or do you guys think an in-place upgrade to Windows Server 2016 will work just fine, with my set-up?  Are there any known compatibility issues?  It looks like some resources online say that GP 2013 is compatible with Server 2016, and some do not say one way or the other.  I'm an experienced server administrator, and general IT guy, but I do not have a ton of experience with Dynamics GP itself.  Any advice on this project is welcomed!

Thank you in advance for your help!
