About this tag
Discussions about Windows Server 2008 R2 cover upgrade paths to newer versions like 2019, especially when running Active Directory and Hyper-V roles. Users also seek guidance on configuring internal NTP time sources, replacing hard disks in RAID arrays while preserving the OS, and obtaining ISO files with install.wim instead of install.esd. Migration tools such as Server Migration Tool (SmigDeploy) are a common topic, along with specific updates like KB3147071, KB3138901, and KB3133977 for the x64 edition. These threads reflect ongoing administrative tasks and troubleshooting for this legacy server operating system.
