20. 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

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

22. 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

23. 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

24. WS08 R2 Migration Solution
Migration PowerShell cmdlets
Automate migration steps & simplify scripting
Server roles (DHCP & File), features (BranchCache)
