Is it possible to upgrade Windows Server 2012 to Windows Server 2019 on a DMA running DataMiner?
Will it keep working?
Of course there will be downtime during the upgrade and reboots, but do you expect issues after this upgrade with the DataMiner Agent?

I don’t have experience with this upgrade, but I’m not expecting any issues as we support Windows Server 2019. It doesn’t really matter if that’s upgraded from a 2012 or a new installation…

I’ve come across a similar case in the past – in that occurrence the hosts were VMs, but yes, an “in-place upgrade” took place from Win2012 to Win2019.
If this is deemed too risky or the downtime cannot be tolerated, then migration of the DMA can be used, and shift to a newer set of servers.
