I have two systems. System A currently running 2012 Essentials (ver 6.2.9200) as the only Domain Controller for Domain A. System B currently has 2016 Standard (not essentials) installed. How do I move the Domain function and AD structure to the 2016 Standard and get rid of the of 2012 Essentials completely?
Join system B to Domain A
Promote system B to be a DC
Transfer FSMO roles to system B
Demote system A from the domain
Format system A
Will this process work or are there other steps/process I need to do to get this accomplished?
Thank you for all you help.
