Hi There,
We are transitioning our 2008R2 DC to 2012.
For a start I will explain our setup.
1 x 2008 R2 DC/DNS/DHCP in the Central Office ( Server 01 )
6 x mixture of 2008 and 2008 R2 DC/DNS/DHCP in Branches ( lets say Server 03 to server 08 )
All sites are connected via VPN and can resolve each other.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
We added a Windows 2012 to the Central office as an additional DC with DNS and DHCP names Server 02 ( DHCP currently disabled as 2008 DC is giving addresses)
When the setup ask to replicate for the first time we chose Server 01. After reboot, we saw that changes wasn't replicating from server 01 to server 02.
In our inter site replication, Server 01 replicate to and from Server 03 - 09.
In the new server 2012, We had errors saying that dfs couldn't replicate the system volume as no connection were found. We then added a manual connection from server 01 to server 02 and it fixed the problem. ( is that customary that intra site connection need to be created manually? )
Tested some user and dns creation and changes replicate across all DCS. ( Server 01 replicate to and from Server 02 - 09 and Server 02 replicate to Server 01)
Now if I need to get rid of the 2008 Server ( Server 01 ) do I just need to move the fsmo roles to the 2012 Server, unauthorized DHCP from Server 01, Configure DHCP on Server 02, Configure clients to point to Server 02 for DNS, demote Server 01 and then change the intersite replication to go to Server 02 or is there something I missed?
Below some repadmin commands from 2012 Server:
