Has anyone experience with migrating from DSfW to MS AD?

Franz Sirl over 1 year ago

Hi,

has anyone here ever migrated from DSfW to MS AD? Especially I want to keep as much of the

current setup as possible, like DomainName, DomainSID, DomainGUID and user info.

Is that even possible?

regards,

Franz Sirl

Interesting. I would think if you could install a Windows DC in your environment as a secondary DC it would work. After transferring your FSMO roles you should technically be able to decommission the DSfW server. So I would first join a server to the Domain, promote the server to a DC, move the FSMO roles and decommission the DSfW server. The interesting part would be how Windows handles being promoted in the environment. The fact that you have DSfW means you already have most of the attributes needed to preform the promotion of a Windows DC in a DSfW environment.
