After upgrading to a new Windows Server version, which RDS components can still be migrated?

The ability to migrate data and licenses after upgrading to a new Windows Server version is crucial for maintaining continuity and compliance within your Remote Desktop Services (RDS) environment. When an organization upgrades its server, it often has established applications and configurations that must be retained to ensure a smooth transition.

Data migrations typically include important user profiles, settings, and application data that need to be transferred to the new server to minimize disruption for users. Additionally, licenses must be managed carefully to remain compliant with Microsoft's licensing agreements and to ensure that remote desktop capabilities are not interrupted after an upgrade.

This focus on data and licenses highlights the ongoing importance of properly managing user access and application availability, which are essential functions in an RDS context. While other components such as applications, session histories, and user accounts may also have migration paths, they may have additional dependencies or complications that make them less straightforward compared to data and licenses. Therefore, prioritizing data and license migration is often the most efficient approach to ensure that the essential elements of the RDS infrastructure remain intact and functional after an upgrade.
