Deploying Windows Server 2025 with MDT, In-place Upgrade, and Migration

Windows Server 2025 can be deployed using automated tools like the Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT), upgraded in-place from previous versions, or migrated from older servers using the Windows Server Migration Tool (WSMT). MDT streamlines unattended installations with answer files, while in-place upgrades preserve existing data and settings. Migration ensures roles and services are transferred to new servers efficiently. These methods provide flexibility for enterprise environments, ensuring consistency, scalability, and security.

1. استقرار با MDT


MDT فرآیند نصب را خودکار و ساده می‌کند و برای استقرار چندین سرور به‌صورت یکپارچه بسیار مفید است. این ابزار از answer file (فایل XML) برای پاسخ‌گویی خودکار به پرسش‌های نصب استفاده می‌کند. ابزارهایی مانند Windows ADK، Windows PE و Windows SIM این فرآیند را پشتیبانی می‌کنند.


مراحل استقرار با MDT:

  1. نصب Windows ADK و Windows PE روی ویندوز 11.
  2. نصب MDT و اجرای Deployment Workbench.
  3. ایجاد Deployment Share جدید و وارد کردن فایل‌های Windows Server 2025.
  4. ایجاد Task Sequence و فایل پاسخ برای نصب بدون دخالت کاربر.
  5. به‌روزرسانی Deployment Share برای ساخت تصویر بوت LiteTouchPE_x64.
  6. بوت سرور هدف با تصویر PE و اجرای Deployment Wizard.
  7. وارد کردن اعتبارنامه‌ها، انتخاب Task Sequence و تنظیمات محلی، زمان و BitLocker.
  8. MDT فرآیند نصب را به‌طور خودکار کامل می‌کند.

2. ارتقای درجا (In-place Upgrade)


ارتقای درجا نسخه موجود ویندوز سرور را به Windows Server 2025 به‌روزرسانی می‌کند و داده‌ها و تنظیمات کاربر را حفظ می‌نماید. این ارتقا از نسخه‌های Windows Server 2012 R2، 2016، 2019 و 2022 پشتیبانی می‌شود.


مراحل ارتقای درجا:

  1. قرار دادن رسانه نصب Windows Server 2025 و اجرای setup.
  2. انتخاب نسخه موردنظر و پذیرش شرایط لایسنس.
  3. انتخاب داده‌ها و تنظیماتی که باید حفظ شوند.
  4. اطمینان از فضای کافی دیسک و کلیک روی Install.
  5. اجازه دهید ارتقا پس از چند بار راه‌اندازی مجدد کامل شود.
  6. تأیید موفقیت ارتقا در بخش System Properties.

3. مهاجرت با WSMT


مهاجرت نقش‌ها، ویژگی‌ها، برنامه‌ها و سرویس‌ها را از سرورهای قدیمی به Windows Server 2025 منتقل می‌کند. ابزار WSMT و دستورات PowerShell این فرآیند را تسهیل می‌کنند.


نمونه: مهاجرت DHCP Server

  1. روی سرور قدیمی (Windows Server 2012 R2) اجرای دستور: 
    Export-DhcpServer -File C:\DHCPdata.xml -Leases -Force -ComputerName OldServer -Verbose
  2. توقف سرویس DHCP و انتقال فایل به پوشه اشتراکی.
  3. روی سرور جدید (Windows Server 2025) افزودن نقش DHCP با Server Manager.
  4. کپی فایل DHCPdata.xml به سرور جدید.
  5. اجرای دستور واردسازی: 
    Import-DhcpServer -File C:\DHCPdata.xml -BackupPath C:\DHCP\ -Leases -ScopeOverwrite -Force -ComputerName NewServer -Verbose
  6. راه‌اندازی مجدد سرویس DHCP برای تکمیل مهاجرت.

نتیجه‌گیری


استقرار با MDT، ارتقای درجا و مهاجرت با WSMT سه روش اصلی برای نصب و مدیریت Windows Server 2025 هستند. این روش‌ها انعطاف‌پذیری، کارایی و قابلیت اطمینان را در محیط‌های سازمانی تضمین می‌کنند.
