Greetings All!
I am in the process of moving my enterpise from Windows Server 2019 to Windows Server 2025. This process is giving me the opportunity to reevaluate the current configuration of the system I inherited and one of the things I am considering changing is the configuration of the web adaptors.
The system is currently at 11.3.
The environment is a mult-machine portal and server deployment and it is not configured for high availability. The system has a load balancer with a reverse proxy that talks to our two web adaptors, each installed on a seperate VM: A portal web adaptor and a mapping web adaptor. The portal web adaptor talks to the portal via 7443 and the mapping web adaptor is cofigured to access portal through 7443 and our non-federated servers via 6443. Of the 8 servers in our system, we have two server instances federated to the portal.
While we do have two seperate Windows Server 2019 VM instances of web adaptor, portal and mapping, all of the 2019 VM's both portal and server are registered on the IIS app pool of the portal web adaptor.
I am considering moving the portal instance and the federated servers to the Windows Server 2025 portal web adaptor and moving the the remaining instances of server to the 2025 mapping web adaptor.
Does this seem like a reasonable plan?
Thanks to all who will consider my question!
