SQL 2014 to 2019 Migration Utility on DC
Hi All, MYOB has been pushing the upgrade to SQL Server 2019 with emails to the client fairly regularly, however I note that the download has been pulled from MYOB's download page a couple of times already. Anyway, when executing the SQLServerUpgrade-V1.exe script, we get the following message: Your environment isn't eligible for an SQL server upgrade due to the following reasons: You're using a domain controller "For security reasons, we can’t install SQL Server 2019 on a domain controller. Contact your IT to remove the Domain controller server" Now, I'm assuming this is non-negotiable, as SQL shouldn't be running on a DC anyhow. But I would be interested to know if any other small accounting shops are in fact still running SQL Server on a DC and whether there are any potential shortcuts or workarounds to make the upgrade happen? I'd rather not migrate MYOB or SQL to a whole new Server when it is currently performing reasonably well. The installed version is MYOB AO by the way.
