I want to replace a production 2003 File Server that also has 15 Terminal Thin clients, with a 2012 RDS server.
And I need to keep the same name so that hundreds of devices and shortcuts still function afterwards.
This server has 139 printers and is active nearly 24-7, so I don't want to mess up.
My original plan was to create a new 2012 Server with a temporary name, and rename it after getting RDS to work and moving the files.
But after seeing how much more complex the new RDS setup is than the old Terminal Server, I'm thinking that is not going to be a smooth transition...?
So can anyone recommend a better way to do this, or am I on the correct path?
