Hi all,
I'm planning to migrate one of my clients directory servers to windows server 2016. At the moments there is a mix of Server 2008R2 and Server 2012. Customer got 3 sites. 2 sites got separate VMS for root domain controllers and other site small site is replicating AD from one of the big sites i mentioned earlier. Forest and Domain functional levels are Server 2003.
I want to know what is the best approach in upgrading these servers? I want to migrate all these servers to newly installed servers. I'm familiar with that. Confusion is with the complication added by site replication and separate servers for root and local domains. This customer doesn't have Local exchange. File servers are already updated to 2016 and heavily depend on authentication.
Any ideas ?
