Good morning, Robert.
Thank you for the information. One issue I am having is that the server reboots into an endless loop while the server is loading the files for the Server 2012 installation when trying to install from a DVD. I also tried to run it through a USB bootable approach, but get the same issue. If I try to upgrade from Server 2008 R2 to Server 2012 R2, the compatibility service barks about drivers needing to be updated. Once I resolve the issue and select install, it goes into an endless reboot loop when the server decides to reboot. I also tried to burn the DVD at a slower speed to verify the integrity of the image. Is there anything else I should try? Should I run the SPP updates while Server 2008 R2 is installed and then try to push Server 2012?
Thanks again.
Eli
