MS Server 2012 R2 Domain Controller to AWS

Hello My Fellow Zertoites!

I am wondering if any of you would know or have been in my shoes when it comes to using Zerto to replicate/failover a Windows Server 2012 R2 Domain Controller from a vmWare environment – successfully.

I am currently working on doing just that, however I have to outcomes:

• Using AWS Import method fails – It flat out just fails. Doesn’t even go to a point of creating a EC2 instance.
• Using zImport Method (Zerto Import for all volumes and Zerto Import for Data Volumes) – The EC2 instance creates and the system boots to a BSOD.
  • I managed to be able to get a screenshot on the AWS EC2 console of the Windows Server 2012 R2 having the BSOD with error code 0xc00002e2
  • After the system reboots, I get the “Continue, Troubleshooting, Turn Off Your PC” screen.
  • And since this is AWS, I have no ability to press a button or move a mouse to troubleshoot/continue.
  • The error code pertains to Active Directory Service not running – which is on a different volume.
  • Xen Drivers were installed.
  • I did this to another Domain Controller system and had the exact same result.
  • This is so far the only 2012 R2 system I had a problem working on a Fail Over Test.

Please let me know if you have any pointers/stories/methods.
