My Azure Connect 1.5 sync service has been depreciated and the latest Connect Version V2 will not support the existing sever OS(2012R2) it is installed on, so cannot do in-place upgrade. I have another DC on Server 2019 I can install Sync services on. My question is:

Do I install from scratch Connection V2 on the new DC

If so, will I need to uninstall the original depreciated V1.5 service from the 2012R2 server first or can I just get sync services up with the new V2 install on the 2019 Server and come back later to uninstall or decommission the original non functioning service.?

    No need to uninstall the 1.5 first , just ensure its in staging mode, then install V2 on a supported server.

    After you confirmed the new installation is working, uninstall the old version and remove the health agent in Azure:
