Upgrade OS from Win 2012R2 to Win 2019 (Nov 2020)

[JustinDallas]

Hello Folks,

I have a central node that is on Windows 2012R2.  I am looking to upgrade it to Windows Server 2019.  Is there anything that I should be aware of?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hello!

If you are simply upgrading the machine to a newer operating system then there shouldn't be anything special to consider. 

Qlik Sense November 2020 supports Windows Server 2019.

Just to take some precaution, I would suggest to take a backup of your Qlik Sense environment and also stop the Qlik Sense services before starting the upgrade:

Hope this helps!
