Hi folks, Having a dilemma right now and need an advice. We are running a single domain controller on server 2012r2 right now. We will have a second one in Future. In total there will be two. But right now I want to move to 2025. A direct side by side migration is not possible due to 2012r2 structure. An in place upgrade is supported. What should I do? 1. In place upgrade 2. Setup 2019 Server and migrate the domain controller. After that I migrate from there to 2025. Thanks for your feedback
