AndyB4rks Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 So far got half of the cluster nodes done, 4 vm's and 4 physical servers. Just another 30 or so to go then we are done, just hope it goes as easily as the first few.
AndyB4rks Posted October 7, 2018 Author Posted October 7, 2018 Actually done both, upgraded a couple of low level servers that only us techs use and done a few from scratch for vm's etc. Looking forward to testing the storage migration service in the lab, then if I have the balls do it, the real file storage servers. Eventually will get round to the bigger servers if supported for SQL, Exchange, SCCM, SIMS etc.
Arthur Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 Microsoft have removed the Windows Server 2019 ISOs from VLSC and MSDN. It's probably worth waiting until they reappear before doing any more upgrades.
AndyB4rks Posted October 7, 2018 Author Posted October 7, 2018 @Arthur You are right! Good job I only did ones for us techs and not the ones staff use. https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/452476eb-dede-4ced-ba7b-099ab8566d96/windows-server-2019-trial-retired?forum=ws2016
2097 Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 Im about to start upgrading our infrastructure from 2008 r2 . Probably going to do the domain controller and exchange migration first . Is there any problems with 2019 as a DC with windows 7 currently ? I imagine older GPs still work ?
Arthur Posted November 6, 2018 Posted November 6, 2018 Is there any problems with 2019 as a DC with windows 7 currently? If your current 2008 R2 DC(s) are using FRS for SYSVOL replication you must migrate to DFS replication beforehand since FRS is not supported by Windows Server 2019 DCs. I imagine older GPs still work ? Should be fine. I haven't had any issues with Server 2016 DCs and Windows 7 PCs.
ataylor Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 Wanting to build a new file server - was hoping to put it on 2019 but can't see it in VLSM
Arthur Posted November 9, 2018 Posted November 9, 2018 Wanting to build a new file server - was hoping to put it on 2019 but can't see it in VLSM Server 2019 should be back on VLSC towards the end of this month (probably the 28th or soon after).
kingoranks Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 @AndyB4rks, how did you get on this project?Im looking at doing the same. Did you move SIMS,exchange,SQL etc. Did you get any help from Capita? or any third parties suppliers?
AndyB4rks Posted September 27, 2019 Author Posted September 27, 2019 @AndyB4rks, how did you get on this project?Im looking at doing the same. Did you move SIMS,exchange,SQL etc. Did you get any help from Capita? or any third parties suppliers? Done about three quaters of the servers, there are a few running old software that we tested that dont work and wont until we get the budget to replace them. We havent need help from anyone as yet although we will for SIMS SQL did several tests with this and to be safe in most cases just moved the database to a new VM. Again looked into SIMS and given the time we have had with it decided not to move it. Also dont know a lot about it so will be asking company for help with that. Exchange we are currently in hybrid mode so we have been doing work to move the few public folders we have to the cloud, the plan is once were happy with everything to get rid of on prem server. Got all the Hyperv cluster servers upgraded no problem at all, we are replacing the backend storage hardware later in the year so that will also have 2019 on it. We are part way through moving the print server over too. We have most desktops on Windows 1903 as we are rolling out onedrive instead of local home folders, so far this has caused the most issues. We also have that age old problem with printers disappearing randomly. Other than that its gone well.

Give us bit more info about your hyperv cluster and how did you done the upgrade. Thanks
