Trying to complete migration from Win 2012 Essentials to Win 2022 Essentials

Hi..   In the process of migrating from a Windows Server 2012 Essentials server, to a new Windows Server 2022 Essentials server.   I added the DC roles to the new machine, joined it to the domain...

    Ok.. I got a bit further in the absence of feedback after going around and around in google hit circles 🙂 ... I moved all the fsmo stuff back to the original DC and dug into the DFSR state.

     

    Checking the original DC (the soon to be gone Server 2012 Essentials service), I found an event ID 2213 in the DFSR logs.

     

    Once I followed the instructions in the error message (back up the files, re-initialise the synchronisation), DFSR advised it was "automatically" (ha!) reinitialising replication, and now I see state 4 (Normal) on the old and new DCs for the sysvol share.
