Dears,
 Greetings.
 
Currently, we are managing on-prem version 9.1.2.2, and we need to update to the latest stable version. Shall I set up the latest version directly, which I believe is not the best practice, or shall I install all versions in between one by one? Another concern is how to apply this installation while the CRM is installed on multiple servers (2 Back & 2 Front & 2 SSRS & 1 SQL)

    Good morning, afternoon, or evening depending on your location!
     
    Upgrading from Dynamics CRM on-premise version 9.1.2.2 to the latest stable version, here are some recommendations:
    Upgrade Path:
    1. Direct Upgrade vs Incremental Upgrade:
      • It is not recommended to directly upgrade to the latest version without applying intermediate updates. Incremental upgrades ensure compatibility and reduce the risk of errors during the process.
      • Follow the upgrade path by installing cumulative updates sequentially. For example, upgrade to the next available version (e.g., 9.1.x) and then proceed step-by-step to the latest stable version.
    2. Check Compatibility:
      • Verify the compatibility of your current version with the latest stable version. Review the release notes and documentation for any prerequisites or changes that might impact your environment.
    Multi-Server Installation:
    1. Plan the Upgrade:
      • Since the CRM is installed on multiple servers (2 Back-End, 2 Front-End, 2 SSRS, and 1 SQL), ensure that all servers are synchronized during the upgrade process.
      • Begin with the SQL Server and ensure the database schema is updated. Then proceed with the Back-End servers, followed by the Front-End servers, and finally the SSRS servers.
    2. Backup and Testing:
      • Take a full backup of the CRM database and all server configurations before starting the upgrade.
      • Test the upgrade process in a sandbox environment to identify potential issues and validate the upgrade steps.
    3. Deployment Manager:
      • Use the Deployment Manager to manage the upgrade process across all servers. Ensure that the organization database is imported correctly after each upgrade step.
    Additional Considerations:
    • Service Accounts:
      • Verify that the service accounts used for CRM, SQL, and SSRS have the necessary permissions for the upgrade process.
    • Customizations:
      • Review any customizations or third-party integrations to ensure they are compatible with the latest version.
    • Documentation:
      • Follow Microsoft's official documentation for detailed upgrade steps and troubleshooting.
     
    Hope this is helpful :)
