The migration is finished. DNS is cleaned up. I was going through AD computers and saw the old server even though I had demoted it and disjoined it from the domain. When I went to delete the computer object 'XYZserver" in Active Directory, it asked me to confirm subtree deletion. Since I no longer use nor need this server I assume that's ok. Can I go ahead and delete the old server computername object from AD and it's associated 'subtrees'?
Good morning. I'm trying to install SBS 2011 on my Hyper-V server here in my office in order to perform some tests. Nothing critically important. I don't think you can install an OS from a USB stick in Hyper-V. I only have the SBS 2011 install USB disk, but I need the .ISO file. These things are really hard to find online. Does anyone know where I can download the Sbs2011 standard iso? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Step 9 - Migration tool installed on 2019 but error on 2016. Same error as here - https://server-essentials.com/community/answers/migration-tool-install-failure# - HP server with HP media. Saw references to cbs.log like this answer - https://server-essentials.com/community/answers/unable-to-install-windows-migration-tool-on-windows-server-2016 which isn't quite the error I have. I do have 'failed to pin' deployment for KB5036899 and KB4524152 in the cbs.log. I downloaded 5036899, extracted and installed with dsim cmd was supposedly successful. Tried to install Migration Tool had same error. 4524152 is old and not available to manually download that I can find. I won't be able to restart the server until this evening. ...
Hi all I am following up on a previous post. I have had to recently rebuild my WSE server and I am at the Anywhere Access setup. I have a valid SSL Cert and can access my server at .uk/remote with no issues but the fact that remote web access needs to be started. Did anyone ever find a solution to using a.uk TLD with WSE? Is there any way to manually configure this part of the setup? I previously ignored my .uk domain and used the .remotewebaccess.com from MS but I have had no end ...
Hello, We have a client whose server is failing a PCI scan, specifically for click-jacking. I have added the X-Frame-Options header in IIS under the site, and confirmed the changes are being made in the web.config file: Interestingly, we had previously added that 'Strict-Transport-Security' header at the same time (back in February) to fix a separate issue. That header DOES seem to work. If i go to ssl labs and test the site, that Strict-Transport-Security info shows up ...
I've completed step 8 with migrating DHCP scope. I had issues with get-credential in step 11 - I saw this https://server-essentials.com/community/answers/setting-dhcp-problem-in-sbs2011-to-server-2016-essentials-migration-problem and set it the same way but notice there's a red down arrow on IPv4 DHCP GUI and a message 'A DHCP server must be authorized.' I don't think I missed any steps - I assume I should follow the instructions "To authorize this DHCP server, navigate to the server node and click Authorize"? Thank you!
I've setup Server 2022 Essentials as a virtual machine on Hyper-V. Migration is going fine, going to transfer FSMO roles next but I decided to try to remote desktop to new server instead of going through Windows Admin Center. RDP isn't working, I can RDP out from Server 2022 but not in. Everything appears ok, I can see all network resources. I see stuff about registry stuff about TLS 1.2 and fDenyTSConnections. I'm not sure if this is migration related or not. Have you run into this? Thank you!
Migrating from Server 2016 essentials to Server 2022 essentials. I have 3 errors while running the BPA. I know I can ignore the DNS loopback address one but I also have 'The RD Gateway server must be configured to use a valid SSL certificate' - guessing this is because we stopped using remote web access awhile ago and the certificate expired? Also have DHCP: The server should be bound to an IPV6 address. Anything I should do about these before proceeding?

Hi, I client with 20+ users would like to change from WSE Folder Redirection to Backup Folders to OneDrive before they remove the 2016 Essentials and change to new Server 2022. (They would like to stop using Folder Redirection at all). In this link https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/redirect-known-folders I read: The OneDrive Known Folder Move Group Policy objects won't work if you previously used Windows Folder Redirection Group Policy objects to redirect the Documents, Pictures, or Desktop folders to a location other than OneDrive. Any experience in doing this change? Any pitfalls? What are the safe ...
Hi, we are looking to migrate from a Windows 2012 r2 server running AD and is our only DC, to a new Windows 2019 Essentials server, transferring all the existing roles. The Windows Server 2012 Migration Kit DIY looks to be the product to guide us through the exercise? What form of backup for disaster recovery should be employed or is this covered in the guide? We also have a need the change the AD domain name, when is it advisable to do this, pre-migration, during or post migration? Thanks
Have 2016 Essentials running ok. Have reached the limit of 25 Users. I have read and understand the process to move to 2016 Standard. Most of my users use the Remote Desktop to connect to their PCs in the office. Some also work directly on the PC in the office. Two questions: What CALS will I need to keep both operations going.? Will the Windows Server Dashboard still be available once the upgrade is done?
Hello, While wrapping up a migration (step 18.2) from 2012R2 to Server 2022 I do not see _msdcs within DNS. See the attached screenshot. Any help is greatly appreciated. -Mike
Everything in the guide was spot on, no real issues until I got to beginning to demote the old 2016 DC. Output is below. In the posted example (based on migrating to a 2019 DC) there is a warning generated, but it appears that the command is executed and the guide goes on from there, however, in my migration the request to remove DNS delegation caused the process to fail - PS C:\Windows\system32> Uninstall-ADDSDomainController -DemoteOperationMasterRole:$true -RemoveDnsDelegation:$true -Force:$true LocalAdministratorPassword: ************ Confirm LocalAdministratorPassword: ************ Uninstall-ADDSDomainController : Verification of prerequisites for Domain Controller promotion failed. ...
Hello, While doing a migration from 2012 R2 to 2022 Standard I ran into the issue where the SYSVOL and NETLOGON shares weren't created on the new server. I did get event ID 1128 on both servers, which is good, but the shares never appeared. I restarted DFS Replication on both servers but that did not help. I then checked the 2021 R2 server and saw the DFSR 4012 error. I read up and found the post on this site that says what to do, but unfortunately this environment shows two Domain Controller (the 2012 ...

I have been unable to find this information on the Microsoft documents or forums & would appreciate advice from the community. I handle tech support for a small business which currently uses Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard for a single location server along with a combination of 16 desktops & laptops running either windows 10 or 11 pro & active domain logins. The company is interested in an in-place upgrade of Windows Server to Windows Server 2019 as their hardware remains in good condition & meets all necessary system requirements for 2019. My question is whether an upgrade pathway allows for ...
We have migrated a client's SBS 2011 to 2016/2022 server setup. As part of the migration we needed to do the DFSR migration which seemed to go well. When executing the dfsrmig /getglobalstate we get that it is eliminated. Everything we thought was working well. Replication to the 2016 server was working and we finished the migration and shutdown the 2011 server. We then created a new 2022 server as a VM so we could install other services. When we fired up the DFS management we spotted that under the Replication section of DFS it says that ...
Hello - I'm unable to install the Windows Migration Tool on a Windows Server 2016 Standard server. The 2016 would be the source server and one of the last steps, but receiving an error message when trying to install via the GUI or PowerShell.

Yesterday while doing migration on SBS 2011 to 2019 we executed dfsrmig /setglobalstate 1 and after some time and troubleshooting of firewall on sbs it showed prepared, but today when going to dfsrmig /setglobalstate 2 we ran dfsrmig /getmigrationstate it is again showing The following domain controllers have not reached Global state ('Prepared'): Domain Controller (Local Migration State) - DC Type =================================================== ULSECDOMAIN ('Start') - Writable DC Migration has not yet reached a consistent state on all domain controllers.

we are in process of migrating from exchange 2010 to 2016 and at the step of migrating the public folder, it shows synced with error. though it show that all mailbox have synced but has thrown and exception error, please see attached report. What should be our next step?
I'm trying to migrate an old SBS 2012 Essentials to a new server - Step 16 in your migration guide uses PowerShell command that was introduced in 2012 R2. So the command doesn't exist in 2012. Any thoughts on an alternate way to back this up and restore it, please?
I'm currently running WSE 2016 + Server 2016 Standard & Exchange 2016, all three running in evaluation mode at the moment. Evaluation time is running down and I must activate what I have or migrate to 2019 or later. I'm not ready, at this point to migrate, so I'm looking for a way to activate what I have. Can I buy retail versions of 2019 WSE, Server Standard and Exchange and use downgrade rights to activate my current 2016 evaluations? Do I need 2016 product keys or can I use the 2019 keys. Or, is there a ...
