Environments with Limited Hardware Resources<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This document assumes that most installations will have sufficient resources to bring up additional servers (physical or virtual) to complete the migration of SBS. It is highly recommended and very advantageous to perform the migration to three additional servers (physical or virtual). Another option is to decommission the SBS server role you do not plan to migrate in order to reallocate its hardware.<\/span><\/p>\n

Install the server for new Domain Controller<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Install a new server, using the Windows Server 2008R2 Standard Edition media. Assign to the server a static IP address. When prompted, join the existing domain. Before you can promote a new machine to a domain controller, you have to upgrade the AD schema using this steps:<\/span><\/p>\n
