I have a small domain with 1 PDC (Server 2000) and about 40 clients running Windows 7 or Windows 10. I want to replace the Server 2000 PDC with a 2012 Server PDC. I am looking for the best (and easiest) solution.
Am I able to join the 2012 server to the existing Server 2000 Domain and somehow promote the 2012 server to a PDC? Must I create a new domain with the 2012 server (creating all the user accounts and shares) and then have the client machines leave the Server 2000 domain and join the 2012 Server domain?
Any guidance is appreciated.
