Hello Folks,
We have promoted new additional 2016 domain controllers in our existing 2008R2 environment.Due to some application dependencies (the domain controller name is hardbinded/mapped inside application) it has been decided to rename the new 2016 domain controllers with old 2k8R2 Domain controllers name after demoting them.
I would like to know if these is generally a good practice.
Or once 2K8R2 DC are demoted we can create an alias record of those DCs in DNS and point towards 2016 Domain controllers?
What would be the better approach in these scenario.
Also if somebody can share few links for reference.
Regards, Aatif Kungle
