This document provides an overview of migrating servers from older versions of Windows Server to Windows Server 2008 R2. It discusses the benefits of migration over in-place upgrades, the migration process, supported migration scenarios, and guidelines for migrating specific server roles like Active Directory, DNS, DHCP, file servers, and print servers. Tools like the Windows Server Migration Tools are demonstrated to simplify migrating configuration settings and user data while minimizing downtime.

2. Agenda Migration Guidelines Windows Server 2008 R2 Migration Tools Migrating Infrastructure Servers (AD, DNS & DHCP) Migrating File & Print Servers

3. Migration vs. In-Place Upgrade Server migration is the process of migrating server configuration and data to a new server with a clean installed operating system In-place upgrade assumes installation of a new operating system to replace the existing one on the same server

4. Benefits of Migration Clean operating system installs exhibit more stability Reduces risk and downtime Operating system installation and most migration tasks are performed while the old server is still operational Allows verification of migration and benchmark performance before switching to the new server Old server remains available if migration fails 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)
