QuestionQ20

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: You run the Active Directory Migration Tool (ADMT).

Does this achieve the goal?

Explanation

A domain using FRS for SYSVOL replication must be migrated to DFS Replication (DFSR) before a newer Windows Server domain controller can be promoted. ADMT migrates directory objects; it does not change SYSVOL replication from FRS to DFSR.
