    Hi @SF-6505

    The recommended approche is to build new server and promote it as domain controller after that you demote the old one.

    Upgrade in place is supported but it's not recommended for domain controller upgrade.

    Don't forget to check replication and domain controller health before.

    dcdiag
repadmin /showrepl
