I have a DC1 and DC2 on Windows Server 2019.
I want to create a fresh install on DC3 on Windows Server 2022. Grab the FSMO roles and verify replication.
I will then decommission DC1 and delete it.

Move FSMO roles from DC3 to DC1. Decommission DC3 and delete it.
I have moved DC1 and DC2 keeping the same DNS and IP schema to Windows Server 2022.
Possible issues
I will run Veeam backup Application-Aware Image Processing (AAIP) before starting.
Any services or servers relying on DC certificates as part of the chain will need to be re-added.
LDAP may need to be recreated incase it cant point to the new DCs.
Always run repadmin /showrepl and dcdiag when a new DC is added before decommission.
Any other pitfalls to lookout for?
