Hello,

To migrate DNS, WINS, or DCHP during the migration process is not a must,
it depends on the real environment. However most people will choose to
migrate them. DNS can be replicated by AD if you use AD-integrated zone.

In addition, I notice that you will migrate computers first. It is not
recommended. The Recommended Migration Order is listed below for your
reference:
 1. Trust migration (UI Only)
 2. Service account migration
 3. Domain Global Group
 4. Domain Local Group
 5. User migration
 6. Computer migration
 7. Security translation
 8. Report

If you have further questions, please open a new thread and we can discuss
the issue there. In this way, we will keep the thread clean.

Thanks for your understanding.

Best regards,

Frances He
