Migrate KMS host Windows Server 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2012 R2

Hi all,

I'm planning KMS migration on Windows Server 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2012 R2

for Windows 10 KMS activation without service suspended.

These 5 steps are right?

Thank you in advance.

1. Set up Windows Server 2012 R2.

2. Add a role of Volume License Service on Windows Server 2012 R2.

    Activate as KMS host, Install license related files(*1), Add SRV record in DNS

3. Verify new KMS host ( Windows Server 2012 R2 ) starts License activation from KMS client.

4. Delete SRV record old KMS host in DNS.

5. Change old KMS host ( Windows Server 2008 R2 ) to KMS client.

(1*) 

Is that correct to copy 2 directories below to new KMS host, and "slmgr.vbx /rilc".

%SystemRoot%\system32\oem
%SystemRoot%\System32\spp\tokens
