EricStarker I'm Ned Pyle. I am the program manager of the Storage Migration Service, used to migrate customers from Windows Server 2008 to Windows Server 2016 and 2019. I also own SMB, DFSR, Storage Replica, and can answer questions about those as part of your end of life strategy. I'm also an old AD engineer, feel free to ask me about that too.
