Migrating from Windows Server 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2019 Essentials
I'm seeking step-by-step advice on migrating an on-prem Windows Server 2008 R2 server to a new on-prem server running Windows Server 2019 Essentials. The client has fewer than ten users, so Essentials seems the appropriate version for them. Their 2008 server is a Domain Controller. It's their only server.
I'm asking for the list of steps that move the old server files and configuration, including the Active Directory configuration, to the new serve. Thanks, Experts!
