Migrate Windows Server 2012R2 Essentials to Windows Server 2019 Essentials and keep the same hostname

Maintaining the original hostname is crucial when migrating from Windows Server 2012R2 to Windows Server 2019. Users are familiar with the existing hostname, and it's integral to the paths used in applications such as Word and Excel. By preserving the hostname, Folder Redirection, mapped drives, and shared printers will continue to function seamlessly. Altering the hostname could result in significant challenges when reconfiguring desktops.
