Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

Yes, Configuration Manager supports the in-place upgrade of the server OS that hosts a site server and any site system role from Windows Server 2012 R2 to Windows Server 2019. As long as you follow the documentation it should go well. Please refer to:

Upgrade on-premises infrastructure that supports Configuration Manager

Looking to migrate our sccm server from 2012 r2 to 2019 server. Do you recommend in-place upgrade or clean install?

Thanks for your time. Have a nice day!

Best regards,

Simon
