 an apex domain

The apex domain is the highest level of your domain. In our case, that's wideworldimports.com. Note that the apex domain is also sometimes referred to as the zone apex or root apex.

The Azure alias record can point to the following Azure resources:


A Traffic Manager profile

Azure Content Delivery Network endpoints

A public IP resource

A front door profile

The alias record set supports the following DNS zone record types:


A: The IPv4 domain name-mapping record.

AAAA: The IPv6 domain name-mapping record.

CNAME: The alias for your domain, and links to the A record.

An alias record enables you to link the zone apex to a load balancer.

What is the best Australia Azure region for New Zealand customers ? the Microsoft rep did know something I don't know

 The Microsoft rep Elizabeth told me that most New Zealand clients use Microsoft Australia South East region


so Australia South East then


microsoft arc ? what is that ? it is a new service ... here is the answer from a Microsoft rep

 a Microsoft rep told me use bing to search for the arc. It will tell me what the Microsoft Arc is

Azure Arc

demote a windows 2016 domain controller

 https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/identity/ad-ds/deploy/demoting-domain-controllers-and-domains--level-200-


unless it is the last, do not tick force


Server Manager offers two interfaces to removing the Active Directory Domain Services role:

  • The Manage menu on the main dashboard, using Remove Roles and Features

    Server Manager - Remove Roles and Features

  • Click AD DS or All Servers on the navigation pane. Scroll down to the Roles and Features section. Right-click Active Directory Domain Services in the Roles and Features list and click Remove Role or Feature. This interface skips the Server Selection page.

    Server Manager - All Servers- Remove Roles and Features

The ServerManager cmdlets Uninstall-WindowsFeature and Remove-WindowsFeature will prevent you from removing the AD DS role until you demote the domain controller.

Server Selection

Remove Roles and Features Wizard select destination server

The Server Selection dialog enables you to choose from one of the servers previously added to the pool, as long as it is accessible. The local server running Server Manager is always automatically available.

Server Roles and Features

Remove Roles and Features Wizard - Select roles to remove

Clear the Active Directory Domain Services check box to demote a domain controller; if the server is currently a domain controller, this does not remove the AD DS role and instead switches to a Validation Results dialog with the offer to demote. Otherwise, it removes the binaries like any other role feature.

  • Do not remove any other AD DS-related roles or features - such as DNS, GPMC, or the RSAT tools - if you intend to promote the domain controller again immediately. Removing additional roles and feature increases the time to re-promote, as Server Manager reinstalls these features when you reinstall the role.

  • Remove unneeded AD DS roles and features at your own discretion if you intend to demote the domain controller permanently. This requires clearing the check boxes for those roles and features.

    The full list of AD DS-related roles and features include:

    • Active Directory Module for Windows PowerShell feature
    • AD DS and AD LDS Tools feature
    • Active Directory Administrative Center feature
    • AD DS Snap-ins and Command-line Tools feature
    • DNS Server
    • Group Policy Management Console

MIGRATE FRS TO DFSR REPLICATION, migrate server 2016 dc to server 2019 ; FRS is no go, need do migration to DFSR first

 

MIGRATE FRS TO DFSR REPLICATION

https://itsimple.info/?p=1059
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/dfs-replication/migrate-sysvol-to-dfsr

I run scripts according to the first link, output as below


The server being promoted does not support FRS and cannot be promoted as a replica into the specified domain.

You MUST migrate the specified domain to use DFS Replication using the DFSRMIG command before continuing.

For more information, see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=849270.
Repadmin /syncall /force /APed
Dfsrmig /setglobalstate 1
Dfsrmig /getmigrationstate
dfsrmig /getmigrationstate

All domain controllers have migrated successfully to the Global state ('Prepared').
Migration has reached a consistent state on all domain controllers.
Succeeded.
Dfsrmig /setglobalstate 2
Dfsrmig /setglobalstate 2

Current DFSR global state: 'Prepared'
New DFSR global state: 'Redirected'

Migration will proceed to 'Redirected' state. The SYSVOL share
will be changed to SYSVOL_DFSR folder,
which is replicated using DFSR.

Succeeded.
Dfsrmig /setglobalstate 3
Dfsrmig /setglobalstate 3

Current DFSR global state: 'Redirected'
New DFSR global state: 'Eliminated'

Migration will proceed to 'Eliminated' state. It is not possible
to revert this step.

If any read-only domain controller is stuck in the 'Eliminating' state for too long
 run with option /DeleteRoNtfrsMember.
Succeeded.

Thanks to the first author as Microsoft docs are a long list of mess
