Excellent documentation.  I've used your blog, the upgrade guide, and a few other resources.

One point that I would add for others upgrading:  check the event log after each server that is upgraded.  Do NOT proceed until you receieve a 1210 event within the Operations Manager event log (except for a clustered RMS, which you can proceed with each subsequent node until the cluster upgraded, but do not start any other servers until the final clustered node that will hold the resources presents a 1210 message).

We found that we were getting random Health Service State corruption if this was not finished first.

Hi Kevin,

It is a nice document. We are planning to upgrade our SCOM SP1 infrastructure to R2. The current SCOM structure consists of the following servers:

Server 2003 – with RMS role, Web Console

Server 2003 – with MS role, Reporting, SRS

Server 2003/SQL 2005 – with OperationsManagerDW DB, OperationsManager DB

Because our MS is also our Reporting server with SQL 2005 RS what is the best step to upgrade after RMS upgrade? First upgrade MS and then Reporting server or vice versa?
