Question

you manage a single-domain network with a domain named widgets. you have received funding to upgrade all of your domain controllers from windows server 2003 to windows server 2012 r2. you upgrade all domain controllers to windows server 2012 r2. you then set the domain and forest functional levels to windows server 2012 r2. you decide to migrate from frs replication to dfs replication using a staged migration approach. which command would you run to use both dfs and frs replication with dfs replication being the primary replication method?

Answer 1

To use both DFS and FRS replication with DFS replication being the primary replication method, you can run the following command:

dfsrmig /setglobalstate 1

This command sets the global migration state to "Prepared" which allows you to configure DFS Replication to be the primary replication method. After running this command, you can use the DFS Management console to configure DFS Replication and initiate the staged migration from FRS to DFS Replication
