Migrate Domain controller to new hardware

Thread needs solution

Hello
IM planning to migrate an old hardware DC to a new hardware.
IM thinking about using Acronis to do this.

I have read that imaging is not recomanded to do this (the rocomendation is to install a new DC )

1. is acronis supported in doing this?
2. Should an offline image be taken with a boot disk and than restored with unisversal option (while the original DC is offline after the imaging) ?
3. Should an online backup with VSS option be taken?

Which is the best solution?

Many Thanks

Hello GalBarz,

Welcome to the forum and thank you for your post. I will definitely help you with this question.

Acronis supports migrating a domain controller to new hardware. It is recommended to do an online image with the VSS option enabled and then perform the restore offline using Acronis Universal Restore. You can check the following article for additional information.

We also have different versions of Acronis Backup and Recovery 10 editions, depending on your usage scenario you can select which type you would prefer.

Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Thank you.
