QRG | Quick Reference Guide | Migrating from Windows Server 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2012 R2

  • Article

Here is yet another tangent thought totally not related to any other of my blog posts!  Maybe some day they will converge!  After doing a recent migration for a great customer in DC, I thought I would share these resources for others to enjoy as well.  Although this will not cover everything, the goal was to make a handy one-page reference guide to all that is new, while informing of some other possibilities in the migration!  I hope it is useful to you too :) Included at the very bottom, is a PDF version of this for your convenience.
