In this case, the server migration tools are specifically intended for use with the same or a newer version of the operating system. Since Windows Server 2012 R2 is a newer version compared to Windows Server 2008 R2, the server migration tools designed for Windows Server 2012 R2 may not be compatible or fully functional on an older operating system like Windows Server 2008 R2.
If you want to migrate server roles, features, or other data from a server running Windows Server 2008 R2 to a server running Windows Server 2012 R2, you will need to use alternative methods. Microsoft provides tools specifically for this purpose, such as the "Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit" (MAP) and "Windows Server Migration Tools," which can help to migrate specific roles and features between servers of different versions.
Additionally, manual migration methods may also be required, depending on the specific roles and features you need to migrate. It is recommended to refer to Microsoft's official documentation and guides for more information on how to perform a successful migration from Windows Server 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2012 R2.
