Migration from AD 2003 to AD 2012 R2 SP1

Hi,

I have Windows server 2003 SP2 Active Directory.

Can you please let me know the right procedure to migrate to AD 2012 R2 SP1, on a new server.

Also how will I transfer the DNS and DHCP (which are currently installed on 2003 DC) to the new 2012 DC?

Thanks.

Yes, we have exchange 2007 SP1 running on a separate server. I will upgrade it to SP3 RU13 and then it is compatible with AD 2012 R2 SP1. If it is not correct please let me know.

Thanks,

Exchange 2007 has no updates that allow it to properly work with 2012 R2 domain controllers. So for now, you cannot safely do what you want.

As an aside, there is no SP1 for 2012 R2.
