What follows is how I did it in a Windows Server setting. I’m deliberately avoiding the word ‘upgrade’ because it’s more like an uninstall and re-install, with a few steps in between. In the interests of future proofing as well as satisfying my little OCD monster, I decided to migrate to MySQL 5.7 as well. I’m running 5.6 and successfully upgraded my Jamf Pro Server to 9.98 in our development/test environment. You’ll likely have MySQL 5.5 or 5.6 installed. Prior to version 9.98, MySQL 5.7 was not recommended.

The eagle-eyed amongst us may have noticed a change to the system requirements deep within the documentation: Jamf released version 9.98 of its Casper Suite/JSS Jamf Pro management suite last Thursday.
