Migrate only Users on AD from 2008 to new DC 2012 R2
-
I have a new server with Windows 2012 R2 that will be a part of Domain Controller. However, I do not want to upgrade from our 2008 DC to 2012 R2 as I want a clean fresh setup.
I am thinking of start a new forest and add the users and groups into AD later. The problem I suspect will happen is users will lose their CID and their workstation will recognize them as a different user. How do you overcome this problem?
My reason behind this because a lot of things have changed during the past couple of years. This DC used to be use in Web Develop environment so there are A LOT of groups and users. I don't want them on the new server. Nothing wrong with it just.. don't want it. How can I approach this?
