DESCRIPTION
IT Camp Content. Overview of Server Migration Tools to get from Windows Server 2003 (or newer) to Windows Server 2008 R2. The migration tools are valid for core Windows infrastructure components such as Certificate Services, DHCP, File and Print, etc. This deck covers the basic setup and walks through File and Print and DHCP migration.

Windows Server Migration
Migration vs. In-Place Upgrade• Migration moves configurations and data
– Sources an existing server– Targets a computer with a clean installation of an Operating System
• In-place Upgrade replaces the Operating System on an existing computer– Configurations and data are carried forward– Just the OS is replaced
Benefits of Migration• Provides a transition path from:
– x86 to x64 OS (WS08R2 is x64 only)– Physical to virtual (and vice versa)– Full server to server core (and vice versa)
• Clean operating system installs exhibit more stability• Reduces risk and downtime
– OS installation and most migration tasks are performed while the source server is still live– Allows migration verification and performance benchmarking prior to bringing the target
server “online”– Source server remains available if migration fails
Migration Guidelines• End-to-end instructions for all phases:
– Preparation– Migration– Validation– Rollback– Post migration steps (finalize, retire source server)
• Focused on minimizing downtime and changes to the source server• Utilize both new and existing tools

Migration Server Setup
Destination Server SetupWindows Server 2008 R2
Step 1• Add the Windows
Server Migration Tools Feature
Step 2Generate Windows Server Migration Tools deployment folder for appropriate source OS
Step 3Use SmigDeploy with appropriate switches
Use SmigDeploy.exe located at %Windir%\System32\ServerMigrationTools\SmigDeploy.exe /package /architecture X86 /os WS03 /path <deployment folder path>SmigDeploy.exe /package /architecture amd64 /os WS03 /path <deployment folder path>SmigDeploy.exe /package /architecture X86 /os WS08 /path <deployment folder path>SmigDeploy.exe /package /architecture amd64 /os WS08 /path <deployment folder path>
Source Server SetupWindows Server 2003 SP2 / R2
Step 1• Ensure sufficient disk
space for the Windows Server Migration Tools deployment folder (~25MB)
Step 2Install prerequisites:
Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or higherWindows PowerShell 1.0 or higher
Step 3Copy the Windows Server Migration Tools deployment folder locally
Step 4Register the Windows Server Deployment Tools
Navigate to the location where you copied the Windows Server Migration Tools deployment folder SMT_ws03_amd64 or similarRun .\SmigDeploy.exe
Source Server SetupWindows Server 2008 Full
Step 1• Ensure sufficient disk
space for the Windows Server Migration Tools deployment folder (~23MB)
Step 2Install prerequisites:
Windows PowerShell 1.0 or higher
Step 3Copy the Windows Server Migration Tools deployment folder locally
Step 4Register the Windows Server Deployment Tools
Open an elevated command promptNavigate to the location where you copied the Windows Server Migration Tools deployment folder SMT_ws08_X86 or similarRun .\SmigDeploy.exe
File Server Migration
File Server MigrationPre-Migration
Step 1• On the Source:– Back up full server
or system state– If you are migrating
DFS, back up ADDS
Step 3 Step 4Notify users and ask them to stop using the serverProceed to migration
Step 2Inventory files, settings, DFS namespaces and replication settings to be migratedDetermine the File Services installed
On the Destination:Install OS and migration toolsJoin domainInstall the same File Services
Step 1On the Source:
Freeze administrative changesExport settings
Step 3 Step 4On the Destination:
Configure DFS replicationImport settings
Step 2Migrate local Users and GroupsMigrate the data from source to destination servers twice*
Migrate server identityOptional – Migrate IP address
*On the Destination server run:Receive-SmigServerData
On the Source server run: Send-SmigServerData -ComputerName <DestinationServer> -SourcePath d:\users -DestinationPath d:\shares\users -Recurse -Include All -Force
File Server Migration
File Server MigrationPost-Migration
Step 1• Verify the migration
Step 3Step 2Troubleshoot
migration if necessary
Roll back migration if necessary
Step 4Retire Source Server if migration successful
DHCP Migration
DHCP MigrationPre-Migration
Step 1• Verify that the
number of NICs match on the source and destination servers
Step 3 Step 4Proceed to Migration
Step 2On the Source:
Back upInstall the migration toolsRegister the migration toolsStop the DHCP service
On the Destination:Install OS and migration toolsJoin domainOptional – install DHCP and stop the service
DHCP MigrationMigration
Step 1• On the Source:– Use Export-
SmigServerSetting cmdlet
– Unauthorize DHCP
Step 3 Step 4Authorize the DHCP server
Step 2On the Destination:
Use Import-SmigServerSetting cmdlet
On the Destination:
Set the DHCP server service to start automaticallyStart the service
DHCP Migration Post-Migration
Step 1• Troubleshoot
migration if necessary
Step 3Step 2Roll back migration if necessary
Retire Source Server if migration successful
Print Server Migration
