Copying AD Users and Computers from Windows Server 2012 and Adding it to Windows Server 2016
Hi,
I'm trying to copy all the Users and Computers in Active Directory and paste into a new domain controller that is a new forest on the same network but not sure how to do that, is there an easy way to export and import from Windows Server 2012 to Windows Server 2016?
I did create a new domain forest and the server is attached to the same network as the old server running windows server 2012 and need to be able to copy all users and computers from 2012 to 2016. I check on using a Migration tool but afraid that i want to just copy the roles instead of migrate it to a new server running server 2016.
Please let me know what options there are and how to proceed with copying the information from the old server without changing anything on the active old server?
Thanks.
"just copy the roles"
What is meant here? To copy the users ADMT should be the tool to use. Something here may also help.
- I think his meaning is that just copy Users and Computers in AD without FSMO or other information like GPO.
Yes, that's what my question was just to copy Users, Computers in AD without FSMO.
Thanks.
Do you know if it will copy all the user windows credentials?
Thanks.
