SOLVED SCCM 2012 SP1 to SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 upgrade

[Mc good]

Afternoon..

My name is Mc good i have few years working with SCCM, i have just upgraded my primary SCCM site server from SCCM 2012 SP1 to SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 and the upgrade went well with no issues, now my chalenge is that i want to upgrade the agent on my clients to SCCM 2012 R2 Sp1, i understand is version 5.00.8239.1000, i ran an SQL query on the DB to check the client version it shows they are still running 5.00.7804-1000 which is the old version, i now decided to create two collection on the SCCM(Clients with SCCM 2012 r2 sp1 installed and Clients with NO SCCM 2012 r2 sp1 installed) and then installed the new agent to the ones that do not have, it now shows that only 1 device has the new agent which is the site server, is there a way through GPO that i can install the client, i was planning to use the old GPO that i used but now to point to the new ccmsetup,what should i do?

Instead of using the GPO, you could use the Automatic client upgrade. check the below link to know more about it.

If this still doesn't work then you could then think of using GPO.

I first tried that but it was stuck on the same number which is (0), i then went to monitor that agent log, it showed a couple of errors, i did not want to battle a lot because i knew when i first deployed it i used GPO,Thank you so much Mr.Prajwal, Imanaged to do it by first creating two device collection for clients with SCCM 2012 SP1 agent and SCCM 2012 R2 Sp1, it then populated clients on both collections and i then used a GPO pointing to the new agent on the SCCM 2012 R2 SP1, it is now working as it adds numbers of clients on the SCCM 2012 R2 collections at the same time it reduces that same number on the the old agent device collection. i saw your comment very l8t is there a way in which when u add a comment to my post it then send me a notification to my e-mail or something..
