OK, so you are saying you changed the Netbios name of the domain for the cloned domain? What type of domain is this NT or 2K?
Without changing the NETBIOS domain name for the cloned domain you will need to be in an isolated environment. -----Original Message----- From: Ayers, Diane [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 06, 2002 11:57 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Cloning Domain Actually you can have it on the same wire. We have our lab that is a clone of the production domain on our net with the production domain. The key point is that you have to keep your namespaces separate and unique (NetBIOS, DNS and WINS) Diane -----Original Message----- From: Hayes, Shawn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 04, 2002 12:27 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Cloning Domain That is it exactly. Move it to your lab and promote it to a PDC. DO NOT RECONNECT IT TO THE SAME WIRING PLANT AS YOUR PRODUCTION DOMAIN ONCE YOU MOVE IT AND PROMOTE IT. I assume you are talking about NT4??...

We about ready to rebuild our test lab to match production and I am looking for the easiest way to do so. I believe the thread I am talking about talks about building a DC in production then moving to the test lab. Any information would be helpful.
