Hi,
I am trying to find the best way of replicating our live AD environment in
to our MS Virtual Server 2005 R2 test lab.
I cant use any disk imaging tools but do have access to system state backups
from the live environment.
Is there any way I can use dcpromo /adv to build the server in a lab
environment that is isolated from the live network? I know this process wants
to contact the original domain to procede with the install but can it be
worked around at all.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
