Should I install SP4 of 2008 R2 before upgrading to 2012?
What about 2005 SP4?
Thanks.

SP1 is the minimum req for 2008 R2, there is no SP4 that i can see.

All 2005 instances must be SP4 before upgrading

You are right. I meant to say SP3 which was released on 12 SEPT 2014.

I will probably no go for the in-place upgrade so it will not matter.

Thanks.
