I think you should plan on having a clone root domain controller. You could use VMWare or Microsoft Virtual Server and run it on the same box, though.

This DR site (for the test) will have no connectivity to our production environment. I have 2 domains (bm.root - which is an empty forest root placeholder domain) - (bakernet.com - peer domain to bm.root where all objects live). The Exchange server (member of bakernet.com) that will used for the DR exercise (Exchange 2000 SP 3) is on a Windows 2000 SP 3 Domain controller (bakernet.com). I have ran the Veritas IDR process on the server and have identical hardware at the DR site for the restore. Question: Will services fail because the forest root domain (bm.root) can not be contacted? Or do I need to also do a DR of a bm.root Domain controller at the DR site? I have done numerous IDR recoveries, but have all been on the production network where the bm.root domain could be contacted.... I hope this makes sense!
