HI there, I'm having trouble finding Microsoft documentation on how to do this. We're decommissioning the last of our Server 2008 R2 DCs. It holds all of our FSMO roles. We've been moving to Server 2016 (although our domain functional level will only go up to Server 2012 R2). I've done a number of migrations of DCs in the past but can't find detailed steps on how to move Azure AD Connect and--existing settings--over to the new server once I decommission the old one.
The new DC will have the same IP as the old DC, but not the same name. I'll be moving the FSMO roles back to it.
When you run Azure AD Connect, there's an option to view current configuration, but from what I've read online, that's not a complete collection of the settings. There doesn't appear to be a feature to export all the settings and import them into the new server, for example.
We have a single domain in a single forest, currently running at a Server 2008 R2 functional level.
I didn't setup the existing connection and so at the moment don't have a lot of details on how it was configured, other than what is shown under 'view current configuration.' I do know we have a pretty basic setup. We're not using AD FS. We don't use Exchange. It's basically just doing a scheduled sync of our directory and that's it. This is for Office 365 and not Azure-based VMs--our Azure portal shows Federation, SSO, and pass-through authentication all disabled.
Also, when I run the Synchronization Service Manager utility and look under 'Connectors', there is a Sync_xxxxxx' account and password there that I understand is system generated. Does installing Azure AD Connect on the new DC automatically enter the account settings there as well?
Thanks in advance,
Syd
