Choose a migration file storage location
Prepare your source server
Prepare your destination server
Complete the steps or procedures in these sections to prepare your environment for migration.
Membership in the Domain Admins group, or equivalent, is the minimum required to complete this procedure. Review details about using the appropriate accounts and group memberships at Local and Domain Default Groups (https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=83477).
Choose a migration file storage location
First, choose a location where migration files will be kept.
To choose a storage location
- Select a file storage location where migration files will be kept. The storage location can be a network share that is accessible by both the source and destination server, or portable media that can be transferred from one server to another.
Prepare your source server
Follow these steps to prepare an x64 or x86-based server running Windows ServerĀ® 2008 or Windows ServerĀ® 2008 R2 for HRA migration.
To prepare the source server
Determine the domain, server name, IP address, and passwords on the source server.
Determine the group membership of the source server in Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS), including security group and OU membership. This can be done using the Active Directory Users and Computers console (dsa.msc) or Server Manager on a domain controller.
Prepare your destination server
Follow these steps to prepare an x64-based destination server running Windows Server 2008 R2 for HRA migration.
To prepare the destination server
Install Windows Server 2008 R2 on the destination server.
Configure the host name of the computer, and configure network settings as desired. Do not join the computer to the domain yet.
Install all critical updates and service packs on the destination server.
Verify the server has access to the migration file storage location.
