Hey awesome video, have a ? if I swap the IP's from the old to the New DC, do I still have to demote the old one?

Could you do a video on how to migrate file shares from 2012 to 2019?

At 12:23 seems weird that my old WS2K19DC has the NTDS->Parameters path but the new one (WS2K19DC0) hasnr. It only has the RID Values folder underneath which is empty from values. Maybe a role needs to be installed first to the new server in order for the parameters folder to be created?

PS1: Since they are both 2019 they are certain to have the same schema version, but I just wan to check.

PS2:At 20:33, the way you let the configuration options for DNS Servers with 172.18.72.49 and 127.0.01 it is like pointing twice to itself.

New edit: As I initially thought (didnt mention it here though), you need first to install the ADDS role.

Hi, my OS server 2012 std R2 but domain/forest functional level is 2008 Std R2.. should it be changed or not?

[GalepharPhones]

Hey does the group policies also get migrated to the new server 2022?

[samostraser]

Hello and thank you for your great videos. I like to know something. We still use Windows Server 2012, but we will go to 2020 soon. I watched this video about ad migration and i like to ask this. Are with migration all users (with passwords) and settings transffered from win2012 to win2020? So if i set on new server the same domain name like we used on old one, users can normaly logon to new domain, without any interruption? Will i have any problems with user profiles, will old profiles and settings stay and be used the same? I like to shutdown win2012 after this. Thank you. Regards, Samo

One Question Sir/Madam,

Before demote the old Windows Server 2012 domain controller. (5th Step)

Can I execute following commands in new Win2k22 Server after move the FSMO?

Set-ADDomainMode -Identity (domainname) -DomainMode Windows2016Domain
And
Set-ADForestMode -Identity (domainname) -ForestMode Windows2016Forest

Hi, what can cause this in a 2012 (DC1) 2016 (DC2)?
Starting test: DFSR Event There are warning or error events within the last 24 hours after the SYSVOL has been shared. Failing SYSVOL replication problems may cause Group Policy problems.
Domainpc Passed DFSR Event
Starting test: Domainpc Passed DFSR Event

Domain and Forest functional levels are 2008


NB: Planning to implement a 2022 DC that will take over 2012 but I need to cleanup any issues first.
