for 2003 DC to 2012 DCs upgrade. Do we need to migrate FRS to DFS? Is it required or recommended?<br />
We have forest and domain level as 2003 and we are bringing 2012 DCs.<br />
<br />
As I understand it, the 2012 will continue to use FRS to work with replication with 2003 DCs?<br />
<br />
But to improve performance only we should migrate Sysvol to DFS?<br />

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Active Directory

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
