What about member domains servers that dont hold fsmo roles but only applications as sql,exchange,,third party applications (migrate or upgrade or new installation)
I'll repeat:
In my opinion you should always STRONGLY try to avoid upgrades. Nothing will be more stable than a cleanly built system. Migration to new systems ensures the most stable possible network, IMO.

I am still addressing questions to all members of experts excahnge
I see, that some IT guys go for migration only for Dcs as this hold FSMo roles and upgrades for all member servers and keep apps and file settings
Is that correct in point of view of team members of experts-exchange???

Upgrades are supported because sometimes you have to upgrade. But from a pure logic perspective, how could you expect an upgraded system, with potentially outdated drivers, software that's not fully patched, stale registry settings, and related possible issues EVER be as stable as a cleanly installed system?
There's a great point to remember when it comes to technology - JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD!

If you will transfer FSMO to new server, all other servers will upgrade information since new DNS will tell them that. If your servers has dedicated IP all you have to do after you'll move FSMO and before decommission old DC is actualize DNS information for IPv4 configuration on all servers in your domain.
