        Had to look what that was in reference too
        While I think you can add a reseller to your account, they won't have the same type of access I don't believe as they would if they sold you the account originally.

          @Minion-Queen would know about the O365 stuff... but maybe you really need to talk to @art_of_shred instead, now that he's client facing 😉

            Oh I was figuring I'd just switch over to a reseller.

              To a partner, not a reseller. Go to a reseller and you get less, not more. Go to a partner and you get more. Resellers like GoDaddy can shave the price but you lose control that you otherwise have.

                  That's definitely what I would do. Practice, migrate, prioritize. You can have everything tested and ready with release candidates before it is time to go live. You can be SO ready 🙂

                  Would you go right to 2016 the day it launches? Or just use the downgrade rights and install 2012? I generally stay away from new releases!

                  Do we even know if there is a supported 2003 to 2016 migration? Maybe you have to go to 2012 first anyway?

                  Also: does anyone know if you can upgrade from an evaluation copy? I just installed one on my server, and it gives you 6 months without a key. If I delayed until the end of 2015, I could roll the dice and hope 2016 releases before 6 months.

                    Maybe not THE day, but very, very soon. Remember this is a MINOR release, NT 6.4, not a major release (like NT 7) so this is NOT a new release but an incremental update. Think of this more like patching with features.

                      You don't want to do an in-place migration anyway. Especially not over that number of versions.

                        I would put that at "pretty risky".

                          We looked at all the options for upgrading 03 to 12 - tl;dr nuke & pave.

                            By that I assume you mean you stood up a brand new install of 2012 R2, inserted the server disk for 2012 into the 2003 server, updated the schemes, etc..

                            Then back on the 2012R2 box you DC Promo'ed it. Then transfered the roles from 2003 to 2012 R2, then demoted the 2003 server, then killed it, right?

                              Yeah I was thinking more the AD migration.

                              Definitely going to start anew.

                                Because it might not work, or because Server 2016 won't be out until after July 2016?

                                        You are right upgrading to 2016 from eval probably would be sketchy at best.

                                          Worth doing to learn it before going to production with it. But plan to blow it away and do a fresh migration when the time comes.

                                            You can't switch from a Eval to a full version on a DC, member servers it's fine it's just a DISM activation command. But once promoted to a DC you can't have the machine ID changing. You'd have to bring up a new DC if it had already been made a DC before activated.
