Hey Guys,<br />
I got a couple of 2008 terminal servers in a 2008 domain I want to move to a new domain, so that I dont have to reinstall the servers, because they contain a lot of programs and settings, that will take time and cost a lot of money to configure from scratch.<br />
<br />
The problem is that the new domain is set to 2012 servers only... can I somehow change that so I can have the 2008 servers in there as well ? And how do I move the servers and users so I can keep it as simple as possible ?<br />
I have never moved a server from one domain to another before... I used to reinstall the servers from scratch, but these servers is too heavy, so I'm looking for a easy solution. (Nothing is easy... I know :-) )<br />
<br />
Hope some of you have some ideas and suggestion.<br />
Thanks.
