How it works (in basic terms)
Step 1 –
This works by Netzen creating a temporary server controller on our virtual server and transfer all your servers existing data / user accounts / active directory.
Step 2 –
Setup the new server and migrate Active directory and all your user accounts and system settings to the new server, install any software (such as anti-virus) and install any hardware / printers etc.
Step 3 –
Sync any changed data from original server to the new server and migrate Exchange mailboxes to the new server.
Your new server is installed and ready to go!
