Hi,<br />
<br />
You would not generally 'migrate' applications - you might migrate your AD setup, then install the applications in the new server, although, in general, I would not install user applications on an AD Server unless you had no other choice.<br />
<br />
What application(s) are you specifically wanting to 'migrate'?<br />
<br />

Hi,

What application(s) are you specifically wanting to 'migrate'?

First you would need to check operating system requirement of the application, computing and storage resource requirement, installation and configuration of the application. Any application data migration as well.<br />
<br />
There may not be one template/process for all application.
