QuestionQ18

Migrate servers and workloads

Your network contains a single-domain Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) forest named contoso.com. The functional level of the forest is Windows Server 2012 R2. All domain controllers run Windows Server 2012 R2.

Sysvol replicates by using the File Replication Service (FRS).

You plan to replace the existing domain controllers with new domain controllers that will run Windows Server 2022.

You need to ensure that you can add the first domain controller that runs Windows Server 2022.

Solution: Migrate SYSVOL from FRS to Distributed File System (DFS) Replication.

Does this accomplish the goal?

Explanation

Windows Server 2022 requires SYSVOL to use DFS Replication when promoting a replica domain controller. Migrating SYSVOL from FRS to DFS Replication removes the unsupported FRS dependency and allows the first Windows Server 2022 domain controller to be added.
