hi everyone,
I am about to raise the domain and forest function level to 2008r2. Currently we are running 6x 2012 and 2x 2008r2 domain controllers while its domain and forest level is still in 2003. From some of the response from my last post I know I need to raise the domain level first and then the forest level.
Here are some questions:
I would like to ask if it matters to raise the level on any one of the domain controllers?
Also, I assume I only need to do once on raising the domain level then follow by the forest level (meaning I do not need to do the same steps on each of the domain controllers).
After raising the domain level, do I need to wait for a while (for the sync between the DCs) before I can raise the forest level?
Finally I just did a full server backup on one of my domain controllers by using the Windows backup running 2012...do you think this will help restore the AD (which I do not expect this happens).
Thank you for your help in advance.
