Thanks for all of the responses. I had a chance to look at the KB article
on USN rollback and found it very informative. I will get to the white
paper when I have a little time.
I am still concerned about the Snapshot feature. How do others handle this?
Is it possible to turn it off or apply a deny permission to that feature or
is it used? Am I off base in worrying about this aspect?

We have a 9 site, 25000 user active directory running on 14 Windows 2000
DCs. We recently converted our last DC to a VM (ESX 2.X) and we haven't
any any problems. The only thing is that we needed to allocate 1Gb of
memory to every DC. A little high for a VM (IMHO), but still better than
using hardware.
Other than that, it's been working great.

There is a white paper about this, it is supported under some strict
limitations.

Subject: [ActiveDir] Virtual Domain Controllers
All,
Is anybody currently running Domain Controllers in VMware of Virtual
Server? Have there been any problems with this environment? There is a big
push at my company to virtualize every environment but, I am sure Domain
Controllers should be virtualized.
One of my biggest concerns is the snapshot feature. I do not have
full control over the Domain Controllers and I worry that another Admin
will take a snapshot of the DC and make a few changes and if they don't
work, revert to the snapshot before the changes. Wouldn't this be the same
as using an older ghost image of the DC? I'm just looking for some feedback
to see if this is a viable solution.
