5 Stages for a Painless Cloud Migration Step By Step

[@eugenek2076]

That was well explained! Still following your steps, at 12:10 there`s step is missing `Select the type of the appliance

[@AzureAcademy]

Thanks, it isn’t missing do much as you have e options so I could not does them all

What a Great Video Loved it as always !!

Thanks Sid!

Do I need 2 separate appliances, one for assessment, and one for migration? I was trying to re-use the assessment appliance as migration appliance, but I got some IIS errors when installing the ASR Unified Setup. My scenario is Physical Server -> Azure VM.

[@AzureAcademy]

You can reuse an appliance for more than 1 job Are you doing REAL physical server or Another cloud or hosting provider to Azure?

[@sidzhang]

@@AzureAcademy Hey Dean, I sorted it out. I was simulating Physical Server -> Azure VM using Azure VM as Physical Server. That was an agent-based migration, so I need 2 separated server, one is Win 2022 as the assessment server, one is Win 2016 as the migration server.

[@AzureAcademy]

ah...yes, that makes more sense!

Hello @Dean, Thanks for this wonderful video. I have a question. One of the companies have physical servers, a DC, SQL server and a file server on prem. Can they use the method you described to move their DC and file server to Azure?? If yes, do they need S2S connection to on premises and the DC will be the exact copy of the onprem including Active Directory. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time. Regards,

[@AzureAcademy]

If you have more then 1 DC you should set up a new one in Azure and use DC replication. YES this would require S2S VPN or some other hybrid connectivity

@@AzureAcademy Sweet. Thank you 😊

Expertly explained as usual. Very helpful. Thank you. How do you handle IP addressing...if the vnet you're migrating to has a different subnet?

[@AzureAcademy]

When on prem, Inside the OS we generally configure static IP addresses…however Azure works on DHCP and static reservations, so inside the OS your VMs should ALL be DHCP. Then your ip gets assigned based on the subnet, and you can specific a static reservation in Azure, NOT in the VM. Make sense?

[@kabookeo]

@@AzureAcademy Yes. Would you then just need to update the static A record to the new IP address in the Windows/DC DNS server?

[@AzureAcademy]

NOPE, not in windows. The OS should ALWAYS be 100% DHCP! You set the IP reservation in Azure on the VMs NIC

[@ChrisLKirby]

​@@AzureAcademyDean I think he may be referring to DNS, about DNS records on the DC to reflect the new IP of the migrated server?

[@AzureAcademy]

The DNS records on the domain controller may or may not show the ip update, it depends on how things are setup. 1. Is there a VPN or Express Route connecting on prem to Azure? (Azure Migrate doesn’t need one to move your VMs) 2. Is there a DC in the cloud joined to the same domain 3. Do you allow that Cloud DC to update DNS records

[@suraj22224]

Hello it was a great information and the way you teach is awesome Just need to ask one question what steps to be followed to migrate on-prem DC to cloud

[@AzureAcademy]

2 paths you could follow. 1st if this is your ONLY DC I would migrate it like any other server 2nd if you have 2 or more DCs or you want to keep your DC on prem I would build a new vm in the cloud, promote it to be a DC as a member server, set it up as a new AD Site with a dedicated subnet and give it a few days for AD replication to sync everything. Then you can leave them Obote running or move the FSMO roles to the new DC and power off the old one Make sense?

[@suraj22224]

@@AzureAcademy yes 2 scenario we have 2 DC thanks for the quick reply really appreciate ❤️

@azureacademy software inventory not happening throwing 10005 error for ubuntu servers... No issues for red hat. What will be the troubleshooting steps

Does the migration of VDIs enroll the new VM's into intune for app deployment?

[@AzureAcademy]

VDI migration in Azure Migrate…I don’t think so…honestly I have not done it…YET! But stay tuned
