RE: [ActiveDir] Virtual Domain Controllers

Title: Virtual Domain Controllers

My experience (and you’ll want to listen to others’ as well, of course) is that you’ll be in pretty good shape.  Don’t even give yourself the CHANCE of using snapshots… “rolling back” is the main issue (as it will hose replication and new objects) and is the primary issue discussed related to running DCs in VMs… so set the DC with persistent disks that can’t even BE snapshotted.     Dan Holme Intelliem   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Seely Jonathan J Sent: Friday, August 05, 2005 12:54 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Virtual Domain Controllers   Hi All, I have a question about running DCs on GSX server.  I understand that MS does not support this configuration, but I've heard that many people are running DCs in this fashion.  Can anyone give some advice in this arena?  The idea here is to do VM for a file/print, and another one for a DC in our remote sites.  Currently, we've got different hardware for each box, but we're trying to consolidate a bit out there.
