Work through the entire tree until it is clean. Make adjustments if necessary. This is self-explanatory. You can even remove it from the domain if you really want to, or just by deleting the Computer object from Active Directory forever.
Go out for a beer. Drink an extra for your dearly departed SBS server. Actually I have another article on migrating the roles—this article only covers the removal of the roles after the rest is completed. I should put together a page that has links to all the posts in this series.
Thanks for the comment! Thanks for this Alex! One question, what are we doing with the clients if SBS is the only server? Removing them from the domain prior to this? Reason being, it is still the best way to manage security policies and other settings on the workstations. See here— I do , in a prior article in this series. Hi Alex, this is great article and I have used it for a check list for a previous migration that worked perfectly! Is there a cleanup that can be done on the standalone DC , now that the old server is long gone?
Great question, Scott. Yes, there is. Check out this article —that should be the solution you need. It does not have to be a DC; member server is fine.
I have a client right now that has certificates issued to other services like System Center Configuration Manager, etc. No you can leave AD CS intact. This is all that is required in most cases. Super helpful. Just decommissioned an old SBS server that had been hanging around for at least a year after we migrated to other servers. Thank you so much for your tutorials, they have been a real life saver! I migrated everyone from SBS to Standard. Can I safely move those to the general domain users or is it best to leave them in their current container?
I also have several users that I would like to delete SQL users that have the name of the old server on embedded in them and am wondering if there is anything I need to be careful of. Any help is greatly appreciated! To answer your first question, it all depends on what Group Policy Objects you have linked to that OU container; check it out under the Group Policy Management container.
You can use this as an opportunity to clean up—move the users but do not link any GPO objects that you do not want to keep link the ones you do want to keep however.
You can disable users instead of delete them, to start. If there are no issues reported, after a period of time, you are probably safe to delete them as well. After these steps have been completed, what kind of state is the server in? I may need to leave the file server that resides on it intact for a few weeks.
I don't like WSUS for very small companies. It's not a test on one SBS, but on dozens! How do you stop the console warnings coming up once disabled? Kevin, I want to disable SharePoint. Do you mean in services. Is there anything that I will have to disable as well. Are there any other things that I will need to do? Thanks in advance, B. Kevin, Great. When I get back to the server room, I'll see what happens!
Thank you, B. Hi Bill No, it should not affect the Acronis backups. Acronis 1, Followers Follow. Improve this answer. Disabling Sharepoint isn't the answer because of it's integration with the server overall. HaydnWVN 2 2 gold badges 8 8 silver badges 27 27 bronze badges.
