Transferring Windows server 2003 r2 to Windows server 2019 directly?

Question

Windows Server

Good afternoon, such a task is necessary to transfer the entire server (dhcp dns, etc.) from windows server 2003r2 to windows server 2019 is it possible without unloading all roles to 2012 and then only to 2019 server?

Answer 1

Why not? Raise all these roles for 2019 and uninstall for 2003. The only thing is that you will have to export / import areas on DHCP and reservations (if you have them)
DNS will be transferred without problems. AD - if you raise it, keep in mind it will be level 2003, then you lower the server to a member and your AD is 2019, then I would change the scheme so that the domain level becomes 2019 (this is if you do not have a DC on other servers, not 2019 )

Answer 2

Wow.
You won’t be able to immediately jump from 2003 to 2019, try successively 2003 -> 2008 -> 2012 and until the victorious one.

PS Judging by the fact that the organization was satisfied with 2003, there is nothing particularly complicated there, transfer it manually, in the end.

Answer 3

- transfer everything to me on a new computer, otherwise the old one is buggy
- but what exactly?
-- all!!!
- and glitches too?
The correct way is to pick up/take over roles on a new, cleanly installed server. Including taking into account all the roughness that was on the old one and looking back at everything new that appeared in 2019

Answer 4

Enter a new 2019 server into the domain, raise the AD role as a second controller, then transfer the fsmo roles from 2003 to 2019. DNS will already have moved to the new controller by that time. DHCP will have to be exported / imported separately, as Dmitry Shumov says .
