Hello There,

I have got a Windows 2012 Server Trial edition running with AD Services and it is a Domain Controller.

This is a VM.

I want to move this AD environment to production on Windows 2012 R2 licensed server but i am phasing some issues.

I have tried the following.

1 - Installed Windows 2012 R2 and made it an ADC transferred all the FSMO roles including Schema & Domain Naming but the ADC is having replication issues the Netlogon & Sysvol are not being created.

2 - Installed a fresh OS windows 2012 R2 on a new VM on seperate network and tried restoring AD backup from Windows 2012 but it doesn't work because of version difference.

so none of the above options worked Please suggest.

Regards,

Maqsood
