Windows Server 2008 R2 Migration Tools Migration Guidelines Windows Server Migration Migrating Server Roles ADDS DNS DHCP Print File

Migration moves configurations and data Sources an existing server Targets a computer with a clean installation of an Operating System In-place Upgrade replaces the Operating System on an existing computer Configurations and data are carried forward Just the OS is replaced

Provides a transition path from: x86 to x64 OS (WS08R2 is x64 only) Physical to virtual (and vice versa) Full server to server core (and vice versa) Clean operating system installs exhibit more stability Reduces risk and downtime OS installation and most migration tasks are performed while the source server is still live Allows migration verification and performance benchmarking prior to bringing the target server “online” Source server remains available if migration fails

End-to-end instructions for all phases: Preparation Migration Validation Rollback Post migration steps (finalize, retire source server) Focused on minimizing downtime and changes to the source server Utilize both new and existing tools

Step 1 Add the Windows Server Migration Tools Feature Step 2 Generate Windows Server Migration Tools deployment folder for appropriate source OS Step 3 Use SmigDeploy with appropriate switches Use SmigDeploy.exe located at %Windir%\System32\ServerMigrationTools\ SmigDeploy.exe /package /architecture X86 /os WS03 /path SmigDeploy.exe /package /architecture amd64 /os WS03 /path SmigDeploy.exe /package /architecture X86 /os WS08 /path SmigDeploy.exe /package /architecture amd64 /os WS08 /path

Step 1 Ensure sufficient disk space for the Windows Server Migration Tools deployment folder (~25MB) Step 2 Install prerequisites: Microsoft.NET Framework 2.0 or higher Windows PowerShell 1.0 or higher Step 3 Copy the Windows Server Migration Tools deployment folder locally Step 4 Register the Windows Server Deployment Tools Navigate to the location where you copied the Windows Server Migration Tools deployment folder SMT_ws03_amd64 or similar Run.\SmigDeploy.exe

Step 1 Ensure sufficient disk space for the Windows Server Migration Tools deployment folder (~23MB) Step 2 Install prerequisites: Windows PowerShell 1.0 or higher Step 3 Copy the Windows Server Migration Tools deployment folder locally Step 4 Register the Windows Server Deployment Tools Open an elevated command prompt Navigate to the location where you copied the Windows Server Migration Tools deployment folder SMT_ws08_X86 or similar Run.\SmigDeploy.exe

Get-SmigServerFeatureDiscovers features available for migration and features in the migration store available for import Export-SmigServerSettingExports specified role, feature and OS settings to a migration store Import-SmigServerSettingImports specified role, feature and OS settings from a migration store Send-SmigServerDataTransfers data and shares preserving local and domain permissions Receive-SmigServerDataReceives transferred data

Step 1 Verify that the number of NICs match on the source and destination servers Step 3Step 4 Proceed to Migration Step 2 On the Source: Back up Collect migration data On the Destination: Install OS Assign temporary name and IP Join domain

Step 1 Make the Destination Server a domain controller Step 3Step 4 Perform verification steps Step 2 Manually migrate the DNS settings Transfer FSMO roles Migrate IP addresses and rename Source and Destination servers

Step 1 Troubleshoot migration if necessary Step 3Step 2 Roll back migration if necessary Retire Source Server if migration successful

Step 1 Prepare the source and destination servers Step 2 Export IP configuration settings from source server and import to destination server Step 3 Migrate IPv6 configuration manually Step 4 Verify Troubleshoot Roll back

Step 1 Verify that the number of NICs match on the source and destination servers Step 3Step 4 Proceed to Migration Step 2 On the Source: Back up Install the migration tools Register the migration tools Stop the DHCP service On the Destination: Install OS and migration tools Join domain Optional – install DHCP and stop the service

Step 1 On the Source: Use Export- SmigServerSet ting cmdlet Unauthorize DHCP Step 3Step 4 Authorize the DHCP server Step 2 On the Destination: Use Import- SmigServerSet ting cmdlet On the Destination: Set the DHCP server service to start automatically Start the service

Step 1 Troubleshoot migration if necessary Step 3Step 2 Roll back migration if necessary Retire Source Server if migration successful

Pre-Migration Access migration tools Prepare source server Migration Back up printer settings on source server Restore printer settings to the destination server Migrate server identity Post-Migration Verify the migration If problems, troubleshoot migration Roll back migration If successful, retire source server

Step 1 On the Source: Back up full server or system state If you are migrating DFS, back up ADDS Step 3Step 4 Notify users and ask them to stop using the server Proceed to migration Step 2 Inventory files, settings, DFS namespaces and replication settings to be migrated Determine the File Services installed On the Destination: Install OS and migration tools Join domain Install the same File Services

Step 1 On the Source: Freeze administrative changes Export settings Step 3Step 4 On the Destination: Configure DFS replication Import settings Step 2 Migrate local Users and Groups Migrate the data from source to destination servers twice* Migrate server identity Optional – Migrate IP address *On the Destination server run: Receive-SmigServerData On the Source server run: Send-SmigServerData -ComputerName -SourcePath d:\users - DestinationPath d:\shares\users -Recurse -Include All -Force

Step 1 Verify the migration Step 3Step 2 Troubleshoot migration if necessary Roll back migration if necessary Step 4 Retire Source Server if migration successful
