Greetings,
We currently have a Server 2003 active directory that we also have TS running and has been solid years; not of the "not recommended" issues have been a problem and we couldn't justify the cost of two servers.
Now, we are starting to have serious hardware errors on our 10 yr old server, and wanted to purchase a new server with 2012 R2 and do the same thing. I am reading all of the issues associated with having one server and it being even more difficult, if not impossible, to deploy on a new server with AD, especially after migrating an existing AD from an old server.
We now only have the need for 2-3 simultaneous remote users, a total of 4 machines. There has to be a cost effective way to deploy without 2 physical servers and without a ton of additional hours making something work that wasn't intended.
Any advice would be appreciated.
