Hello,
Our current DC is Windows 2008 ENterprise R2 which is again our primary DNS server.
We need to setup an Additional DC on Windows 2012 R2 Standard. Our objectives are
1.The new server will be our Additional Domain Controller (ADC)
2. The new server will be our 2ndary DNS server.
We need to add a few new virtual servers to our domain with the DNS pointing to this new ADC & once this task is completed we will promote this server as the Primary Domain COntroller and the Primary DNS server.
Which means I will need to transfer all the FSMO roles at this point.
Appreciate if all you techies out there can help me to understand the best way to go about this.
Thank You in advance.
