<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The move to Desktop is pretty easy. No harder than any other past upgrade. I would recommend going ahead and moving to 10.2.1 if you are going to make the jump. 10.2.1 is really just the service packed version
of 10.2. It fixes many issues and bugs that we encountered. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The upgrade to SDE is also pretty easy. One thing you might want to consider is possibly moving to using the SQL Server Spatial format which is now support with ArcSDE and ArcGIS Server. This would open up the
ability to use SQL management tools and queries within web, mobile and desktop apps. We have found this often performs faster and better than having to always go through SDE and Server. Of course always make sure to have a current back up of your data before
you upgrade so you can revert back if needed. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">As to server, I have heard some folks have had issues getting existing sites to work once ArcGIS Server 10.2 or 10.2.1 has been installed. Several have had to fight with configuration settings or completely recreate
the sites.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">I would recommend set up a test environment that mimics your current production environment as much as possible. Then run the upgrade on it. This will allow you to test and see what might happen before you upgrade
your production environment. Every upgrade is different and you never know what you might encounter from one to the next. A little planning and testing up front can save a lot of headaches and teeth gridding later.
