Windows 10: Running in mixed mode, is it possible to have a Server 2012 Server 2016 Server and 2019...

Given that Windows Clustering supports mixed mode clustering with servers one level above and below current clustering level, is it possible to have a 2016 level cluster, containing 3 nodes of Server 2012R2 one level below Server 2016 and Server 2019 one level above in the same cluster?

Azure AD connect1.6 running in server 2012

Hi,
we have Exchange 2016 Hybrid server running in Windows server 2012 R2 server in Virtual Enviroment (VMware). this server also has Azure AD connect V1.6 is running in this server.
our Domain controller is Server 2019 in seperate server.

Question 1:

Now we could not upgrade this Azure AD connect V1.6 to V 2.0, becuase minimum requirement is Server 2016 or Serve 2019. I want to know that if I do an inplace upgrade of this server windows2012R2 to server 2016 then upgrad this server from 2016 to Server 2019. once this server is upgraded to Server 2019, can I able to update this Azure AD connect from version 1.6 to Version 2.0?

Question 2:
As I mentioned Exchange Hybrid server 2016 running this Server 2012, if I upgrade this server from windows2012 to windows 2016/2019 for AD connect, will that affect any changes to Hybrid server?

Need your suggestion to upgrade his Azure AD connect from V1.6 to V 2 and also to upgrade this windows version 2012 R2 which is going to End of support this Year,

Many Thanks

 

In Place upgrade from server 2012 r2 to Server 2019

Hello,

I am running server 2012 r2 standard and I am hoping to upgrade to server 2019 without losing my settings (server 2012 is our DNS, AD, DHCP)

I did some reading and to do an in place upgrade you need to upgrade to 2016 then to 2019.

I have an image of 2016 but it's an evaluation iso.

When I run the 2016 ISO I only have the option for a clean install and not an upgrade.

Is it because my 2012 is retail and 2016 is evaluation?

I don't want to purchase a retail copy of 2016 just to upgrade to 2019.

Am I missing something?
