Hi folks (quiet in here lately... where is all the .NET chatter these days?)
My home office LAN has a Windows 2008 R2 server running on a real box. It only does two things: 1. It's the domain controller. 2. It runs my 2008 R2 web server inside Hyper-V. I'd like to update the 2008 R2 DC to 2019, just so I have the latest for testing and learning. However I have never before upgraded or replaced a DC and I'm not sure what the easiest path is. I could just wipe and install 2019 and set the DC feature, but all the AD tree of computers and users would be gone and all the authentication and ACLs all over the LAN would be cactus (I think). Is there some ay of upgrading my DC with the least suffering? Any general advice would be most welcome. Cheers, *Greg* P.S. I must be marginal, as Santa just gave me socks, undies and Bunnings vouchers … nothing IT related. Anyone get any good tech?
