Ummm. No. Do not do it. Someone is misguided. Do not image domain controllers.

Am I reading this correctly - HP is stating I should create an image of a DC and then deploy this DC image to all new DC's ? Or does something happen under the hood? Page 16. Mark http://docs.hp.com/en/eclass-is-platform/eclass-is-platform.pdf <http://docs.hp.com/en/eclass-is-platform/eclass-is-platform.pdf> Double-click on Create Image and enter the path and file name to store the new disk image. Since this image is of a Domain Controller, the image data should be stored in a secure location. If the local file system does not suffice for this purpose, then select something other than ".\images\<filename>." Otherwise, type in a name and location such as ".\images\adimage.img." Click Finish to save the task. (Figure 11). Drag and drop this script to the server assigned as an Active Directory server through the deployment console. This causes the Domain Controller to be imaged. In order to keep a good backup of the Domain Controller, this process should be repeated periodically so that the image available for redeployment (should this be necessary) is as up-to-date as possible..+Šw†ÛÿüÁ§Š÷Šºƒò²Ö§²ÑB§ÿö+v*®ŠË§²Örz§ÿà ŠVryÊý§Š÷Š¾™¨i˽箊 List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
