I'm finally getting ready for my SBS 2011 Std to Server 2016 Standard migration.
Quick question... does it matter if one install AntiVirus (Symantec), License Servers (like AutoCAD) ect on the new Server before or after the migration.
Thanks in advance...
Hello Brent,
The first thing to ask if the software you need to install is actually made to be installed on a Domain Controller? I would not install any antivirus on the server, the built-in Windows Server Defender does the job just fine. Same for those third party Firewalls, be very careful with those as the wizards from the Essentials Dashboard configure Group Policy Objects that sets configuration of the Windows Firewall.
