Azure Migration without VM Shutdown
We're in the process of shutting down the on-premises setup of our company environment running on VMware. We have a DC, SQL server, accounting server and a couple terminal servers used for remote ac...
Did you find a resolution for this as I agree that with the expressroute active during Azure Migrate processing, the two (2) DCs would "see and talk" to each other. And with the IPs and FSMO roles likely conflicting, lots wrong can happen. I migrated my DC to Azure but had to leave the original DC active on-prem for a variety of reasons. And now that I need to migrate a few remaining VMs from on-prem to Azure, I'm concerned that the expressroute that's active during Azure Migrate will cause the two DCs with the same name, IP address and FSMO roles to "see" each other.
Ken_Shep hello,
i was asking actually in this community to see if someone has a solution or a workaround. But i have found a microsoft documentation: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/manage/windows-admin-center/azure/azure-extended-network
But i think the better is to change the IPs and play with DNS pointing if needed. I was thinking also you could use nat but both workarounds are tough.
