Hello,
I have done some research online on moving server 2008 domain controller to new hardware. I get some conflicting answers and thought would post the question here as well. My domain controller running server 2008 needs to be moved to a new server. Old server is just not getting it done anyone and its pretty much maxed out. Its controlling a very small office with only 10 users. It?s the only server in the domain and even forest for that matter. It is setup with folder redirection, but besides that it is really just used as domain controller/file server. Is it possible to just use the server backup utility built into server 2008 to create a full system image, and then install that image on the new server. The hardware is similar but isn?t identical, so Im not sure if that?s the best route. No RAID, and only one hard drive. I know that I would probably have to install some drivers after putting the image on new hardware, but if that?s the only additional step that?s fine with me. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
