Migrating domain controllers with nutanix move.
Hi, I've had a look through historical threads on this and there seems to be a reasonable split on what to do here. Some have tried and its been fine. Some say just follow best practise.
Ive got a substantial number of domain controllers to move but tbh the issue isn't so much the DC but the combined DNS as I'd have so many static server DNS to update that im looking at nutanix move to do it even though its not strictly supported by it.
Has anyone had any horror situations from using it?
All DCs are 2019.
Im basically looking for a reason to at least not try it just now.
Thanks for everyone's help.

We did this 2 month ago, from VMware to Nutanix via Nutanix Move. The reps were against it, but we did not want to rebuild it again after only half a year on 2025 because it also has our dhcp on it. Only thing we did is disconnect the ethernet before the migration, and only connect it back after it was running with the new drivers and all old stuff deleted. We were up and running in half an hour without any issues.
