Migration from SBS2003 to 2012 R2

Hi all

My organization has a SBS2003 server and we are migrating it to a Windows Server 2012 R2 platform.

I've just tried a clean setup on a virtual machine configuring a fake domain and configuring an Exchange 2013. I've migrated without problem onto this machine a mail box from the old server and all worked fine, so i'm quite confident that this part of the migration process should work.

After that i decided to start the real migration following this guide

and then this one

Long story short:

I've added the new 2012R2 machine to the domain and promoted it to domain controller.

I cannot proceed now because there's no replica from the old server to the new, so once i try to shut down the old server nothing related to the domain is no longer working.

ExhangeSrv is the new server. TsMailSrv is the old one.

Here I expected to find an auto generated link to the old server. Once i try to click the "Replicate configuration from the selected DC" the popup shows.

I've tested the DNS but all seems to be working fine:

Another significant test I've done is this one that tell me that no netlogon share is found

Does anyone know what can I do?

Many Thanks in advance
