SBS 2003 to Server 2012 R2 migration

Have you run adprep yet?

Here's a nice guide on doing the upgrade: http://msmvps.com/blogs/mweber/archive/2012/07/30/upgrading-an-active-directory-domain-from-windows-server-2003-or-windows-server-2003-r2-to-windows-server-2012.aspx

The SBS 2003 server is probably a 32 bit machine. It doesn't want to read my 2012 R2 64 bit DVD

That said I'm not sure I can get adprep for the old server.

I managed to copy over adprep folder but it won't run. "adprep.exe is valid but for a machine type other than current machine".

Maybe I am forced to do with new domain & desktops. Win7 is not finding the new domain though. The Win 7 machines get DNS from SBS 2003.

Originally I was in the SBS 2003 domain but 2012 A/D failed to communicate with the old server.

What's the best way to delete the domain?

When I try to demote I get "certificate server is installed". I have windows essentilas installed if that matters.

I keep running into this when I try to remove ADCS "You must uninstall Web enrollment role services" but I don't see that as a role.

OK, I used PS and uninstalled Web enrollment. Now ADCS is removed

Do I need to remove anything besides ADCS?

I changed my static ip on the new server to use the old server for DNS (LAN ip). Trying to join domain but getting "specified domain does not exist or could not be contacted"

Use adprep32 on the server 2012 disk. That will run on 32bit DC's.
Hope that helps,
Olaf

Can you run ipconfig/all on both servers and post it?

This is the new server

I'm on the domain. I'll make the new server 192.168.1.3 & leave the old server at 192.168.2. DHCP is coming from the router. I don't plan on keeping both servers online if I can promote the new one to DC,

DNS is clean on both servers just pointing to the SBS 2003. I'll have to change DNS on the router DHCP scope when we get this working unless we move it altogether to the server.

Do I need to check server functional level? If so, how? Shouldn't the minimum already be set by the SBS 2003?

OK, apparently the functional; level is set to 200. I guess I need to set that on the old SBS server.

ADDS is installing !

Great work. Thanks for all the help

Thanks again for all the timely help.

Glad to help. :)
