Windows server 2012 r2 datacenter downgrade to standard free.Downgrade Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacentre to Standard

My company setup a domain environment several months ago using Windows R2 Datacentre Evaluation, however whilst we’ve found a domain environment a lot better than a Workgroup environment we’ve not need to use any VMs and so the cost of Datacentre is un-necessary compared to Standard, however can Datacentre be downgraded to Standard? Microsoft indicates that this isn’t possible, however if it’s not it’s going to be a real headache to do a clean install.

Is there a way? Sadly, there is no way to downgrade. But a simple way to help the change is to setup a second domain controller and decommission that server. That way your not recreating everything! Could try something like this? This would have to be run from an elevated command prompt.

I’ve used it to convert eval to standard and datacenter. Should work for Datacenter to Standard. If the server is a domain controller, you cannot convert it to a retail version.

In this case, install an additional domain controller on a server that runs a retail version and remove AD DS from the domain controller that runs on the evaluation version. Make note of the edition ID, an abbreviated form of the edition name. The server will restart twice. This topic has been locked by an administrator and is no longer open for commenting.
