This solution is only available to members.

Here is the Robocopy command that I use to mirror two directories:
Robocopy \\SourceServer\Share \\DestinationServer\Share /MIR /FFT /Z /W:5 /log:C:\robocopylog.txt /tee /v
You can see what the specific commands do here:

You can also cheat depending on how the shares and the drive is setup and just export the share registry key, import it on the new server, demote the old DC and then create a DNS record for the old server name that points to your new server.

We have used that trick a few times and it works great!
