Windows Server 2012 to Windows Server 2016 Upgrade
I have a Windows Server 2016 server acting as our domain controller and I would like to upgrade that to Windows Server 2016. I am using this as a guide https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-se...

shuntera Yes, whilst that's the correct string I should have mentioned what Dave's covered - in place upgrade of domain controllers is not recommended and should be avoided in favour of building a new DC and migrating roles if possible. Make sure you have a full working backup if you're going ahead with the in-place upgrade (including System State and SYSVOL folders).
