Migrating a domain controller to new hardware?

Question

Active Directory

Good, colleagues.
The question is in the title, actually.
Two controllers on ws2012r2. Primary controller on hardware, secondary in virtual machine. It is necessary to transfer the primary to the new hardware. Do not offer a method with the transfer of roles, I know about it. Is it possible to transfer using Acronis, Windows Backup and the like. Interested in practical experience. Thank you.

Answer 1

It is possible, taking into account the potential rake when installing drivers on new hardware. Formally, nothing will break. But it is correct to do through a raising of new DC.
