Great Job! I just did this myself on my testing environment a few hours ago and it was successful with basically the same steps you took. Just did the cmd part differently since I did not open up the cmd from the D:\support directly. Keep it up!

Good work dude.

Just wanted to share some of the behaviour I saw when I tried it.
DC server 2012 r2 standard (full GUI) to --> Server 2016 Desktop Experience: Worked fine.
DC Server CORE 2012r2 to --> Server 2016 CORE. (I was not able to select keep all files and apps & the installation hung up)

Suggestion: go with a net new server, save yourself some time.

Hello, this explanation is applicable with a windows server 2012 r2 server foundation to server 2016 essentials?

[killerhakie]

i have the full version of server 2016, i downlaoded it from microsoft. whenever i try to upgrade i cannot choose the option KEEP PERSONAL FILES AND APPS, its greyed out for me. i can only choose KEEP NOTHING, so everything will be deleted including dhcp, dns, ad dc

[collinsonyegbado]

Hello, thanks for the video.what if i have the 2016 iso installer in a usb disk, is the process the same ? I am not using vmware .which package of 2016 is good for ms exchange server 2016

After upgrading it shows the active dir dns dhcp and all ou and users .but when restarting it for the second time the active dir can no longer be opened. It says naming information cannot be located because the interface is unknown
