Hello,
Sounds simple to me but I want to be sure on what I'm doing.
We have many sites with a domain controller at each location. The DC with all the FSMO roles is here at Corp. I need to move one of our member DC controller at a different site to new hardware. It is a Global Catalog, DNS, DHCP and file server.
Can I do this by using windows backup to back up System State, Bare Metal Recovery, System Reserve and Local Disk C: (Full Server) and restore it to the new Hardware as long as my HDD are same or bigger? Please remember this is a member DC.
I really hope to avoid the demotion of the current member DC and installing a fresh OS on the new hardware and promoting that to a DC.
Thanks
