I am looking at migrating a small real estate agency to Window Server 2012 R2 from Windows Server 2003 x86. Looking to combine 12 servers ( Essentially PCs running Windows Server 2003) less than 20 users, to 2/3 dual core or quad core servers. I am looking at Essentials due to cost, but have some questions.
1) Can you have more than one Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials server in the environment? Since the server install defaults to being a domain controller.
2) If you can have more than one Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials, can you have more than one domain controller?
2) Can you migrate/upgrade a Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials server to Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard or Data Center?
Thanks for you time.
