I am replacing a SBS 2003 server with a Server 2012 VM Host running 3 Guest OS's running Server 2012.
1. DC, DNS, DHCP
2. File/Print Server
3. Exchange 2010
Instead of migrating the current AD information over, the new system is being built from scratch. It is understood specific configuration/permissions will be lost, but this what the customer wants.
The plan is...
1. Create 20 AD user accounts on new server
2. Export all Outlook contents to a PST file on Local C drive
3. Join 20 computers to new server/domain.
4. Log on to each computer with it's owners new user account and import PST file back to Outlook pushing to Exchange. It's understood things will be broken, but at least the email, calendar and contacts will be available.
Is there an easy way to establish domain membership without having to go to each computer and join them?
Is there away to log into the user's old profile, rather than create a new profile after the system is joined to the new domain?
