Migrating your SYSVOL to DFS-R
Migrating your SYSVOLHow to benefit from DFS-R
Goals of migrationEfficient and scalable synchronizationFlexible scheduling and bandwidth throttlingRemote Differential Compression (RDC)
Global Migration StateUsage of DfsrMig.exe tool to set the Global migration state
Local Migration StateEach domain controller is also at a particular ‘Local migration state’ (local migration state could be either a stable state or a transition state)

Migrating your File Cluster Resources to Windows Server 2012
Windows Server 2012 Cluster improvementsScalability
Windows Server 2008 and Windows Server 2008 R2
16 nodes1,000 virtual machines384 virtual workloads per node
Windows Server 201264 nodes8,000 virtual machines1,024 virtual workloads per node
Windows Server 2012 Cluster improvementsTotal Cost of Ownership
Scalability improvements allow customers to transition more of their physical environmentFailover Clustering feature included in Windows Server 2012 Standard Edition
No more Enterprise Editionoffers both high availability and virtualization capability in a less costly product
Windows Server 2012 Cluster improvementsSMB 3.0
SMB Transparent FailoverAllows file shares to failover to other nodes in the cluster without interruption to client connections (zero downtime)
SMB Multi-channelAllows for aggregation of network bandwidth and network fault tolerance if multiple paths are available between the SMB Client and SMB Server
SMB DirectHigh bandwidth, low latency, uses very little CPU
File Server Cluster MigrationScenarios and Paths
Scenario 1: Purchase new server and storage hardware, install and configure a Windows Server 2012 Failover Cluster and then migrate resourcesScenario 2: Reuse old hardware (Servers + Storage) or purchase new server hardware but use the same storage attached to the source cluster that is being migratedUse built-in migration wizardMigration Paths -
File Server Cluster MigrationBuilt-in Flexibility
Migration can occur between different SKUsMigration can occur between different processor architecturesStatic IP addresses can migrate to DHCP environmentIPv4 resources can migrate into an IPv6 environmentServer CORE (Hyper-V Server) can migrate to a Full version clusterPhysical cluster can migrate to a Guest cluster
Cannot include virtual machinesMigration can occur across routed subnets
File Server Cluster Migration Migration Reports
Pre-Migration ReportDetails resource groupings that can be migrated
Core Cluster Group and Available Storage Group are never eligible for migrationIndicates which groups can be partially migrated and may require additional steps be completed after migration completes
Post-Migration ReportDetails what actually happened during the migrationProvides details about additional steps that need to be completed
