reinstall server2016 - what happens to client machine profiles
just checking if there's any progress or updates? please don't forget to mark helpful replies.
yes, i could, but it's near the bottom of my list for the moment
the thing i need fixed is that i have 2 computers that are part of my domain, but not on my older disk
i see that they have been removed in the essentials device page
when i try to add them back in it fails after entering my admin credentials
i have uninstalled the essentials connector
there must be a log somewhere to help me diagnose, but i can't find it
still wondering what happens to my client profile if i reinstall from scratch?
i do have 1 error that i am wondering if it's stopping my newer computers from connecting
The dynamic DNS information cannot be updated
i don't use DHCP service on my server

- mkaye13Dec 10, 2023Copper ContributorOK, time for anew install & migrate roles over...
will this plan work?
i have another computer to use temporarily
clone my corrupted disk, install in other computer (hope it sorts out the hardware change)
fresh install on current server
migrate roles over
is there a better plan?- Dave PatrickDec 10, 2023MVP
I'd avoid any cloning operations.
