Migration vs. in-Place Upgrade Scenario: move existing server roles, config and data to a new OS Migration Move existing server roles, config and data to a new server with a clean OS In-place Upgrade Installing a new OS to replace the existing one on the same server Existing server roles, configuration and data remain intact

Historical Perspective Migration in WS08 and earlier Available for a limited number of roles Low discoverability Inconsistent tools, documents and user experience

Benefits of Migration Clean OS install is more stable and reliable Reduces risk and downtime Run Migration tasks while old server is still operational Able to migrate items at different times Able to test new server before removing the old one Verify migration and benchmark performance before switching to the new server Roll back to old server if migration fails or problems arise later

Benefits of Migration in WS08 R2 Provides a transition path from x86 to x64 OS (WS08R2 is x64 only) Physical  virtual Full Server  Server Core Migration guides Prescriptive Follow consistent template
