RM unify & a new domain

[Wubbalubbadub]

So I'm creating a new domain as the old one is an RM one. Now I have a question.

 

We currently have an RM network with an RM federated office 365.. How do I go about transferring the RM unify to federate with my new domain!?

 

Anyone had any experience of doing this!?

It's pretty straight forward actually, you need to ensure you're using the migration tool from Microsoft to keep the same GUIDs (as that's one of the things it looks at). Then it's just a case of removing the federation from one domain and adding it again on the other. Unify support should be able to help you out if you need it, they are actually pretty helpful for this as we asked them about it last year.

Can you export from 2003 to 2012R2

Not directly, you need a 2008 server in between. So you'd make your first DC 2008R2 and migrate to that, then set up a 2012R2 on the same domain and let it all replicate across, then transfer roles etc and demote the 2008 server (assuming you don't want to use it for anything else then remove it).
