Migration guide from Server 2008 Standard to 2008 R2
I am moving from a 32-bit Server 2008 Standard domain controller to new 64-bit 2008 R2 server. The old server will be removed from the network; all roles need to move to new server. This is a relatively small, single-server office. No Exchange, SQL, ... The volume of Microsoft's documentation is dizzying. Does anybody have a more practical checklist for this procedure?

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
I apologize, I thought this was about SQL server. :)
You may have to run the command Import-Module ActiveDirectory before transferring the fsmo roles with the command above.

I will use Foxluv's checklist tomorrow and follow up. Thank you.

This checklist worked well. I would add 'https://www.petri.com/prepare-for-server-2008-r2-domain-controller to make it more complete. For people that do not perform these functions often, petri frequently does a great job with images and step-by-step instructions.

A person may also want to review https://www.petri.com/prepare-for-server-2008-r2-domain-controller in addition to this checklist. Worked great.
Good work
Also you want to make sure you move the logins and passwords from the old server to the new one. Here is how:

If you have SQL jobs on the old server you want to move them over as well. You can do that by scripting them out on the old server and then take that script and run it on the new server. Here is how:
