Hi,<br />
<br />
In our current environment we have a 2 Node File Server Failover Cluster with attached iSCSi Storage coming from an EMC Device. &nbsp;On these two servers we also have DFS Configured with a NameSpace and folders being shared out.<br />
<br />
We are currently in the process of upgrading our servers to Windows Server 2012 R2. &nbsp;What would be the best way to migrate over to Windows Server 2012 R2? &nbsp;I already have the two new Windows Server 2012 R2 servers spun up, File Services, Cluster Services, DFS Services, etc..installed but I just don't know how to go about migrating from old to new. <br />

Thanks,<br />
