Windows Server 2012 R2

Does the Dell PowerEdge T320 have the drivers to upgrade from Windows Server 2012 to Windows Server 2012 R2? I need to upgrade this remotely and I want to be sure that the upgrade can go smoothly.

    In general, I wouldn't recommend doing a remote OS upgrade unless you have a DRAC Enterprise or IP KVM available, just in case something doesn't go according to plan.

    I've been onsite already and set up the DRAC for remote access.

    Heyenikin,

    Yes, you can find the drivers here - http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/Product/poweredge-t320

    While most of the drivers will remain the same between 2012 and 2012 R2, any changes can be found there. 

    I do agree with DevMgr, it isn't recommended to do a remote OS install. So make sure you have a backup of the data to be safe.

    Let me know if this helps.
