Dude it is still an overclocking list! I do it every day and will never
stop trying to get the best bang for my buck. Buy, use for awhile then
sell on Ebay and get something newer and better. Next year is looking
real good for AMD. InHell, who dat?

Congrats, sounds like a stressful but in the end successful venture ;)
And I do remember the few of use still left over from Toms hardware and the
overclocking list. Many years and many projects later............

Finally. After about 14 hours and minimal sleep, the solution. Setup a vm, used acronis to clone into the vhd rather then turn the tib straight to vhd.
Then booted ubcd, and reset ide controller.
Turned off native hyper-v ethernet, and installed legacy device ethernet.. For some reason win2k pukes bad on the native. Tried that about 3 times.
Installed extensions and walla! Their active directory and pdc virtualized in tact, and went from 200mb free on an 8gb drive to 120gb free.
What a gigantic pain in the ass. But a trick I will remember for later and
thought I'd share!

If you've got a working VM for it now, make a full clone and try it on the
clone. If it hoses everything there's no loss. You can keep attempting
different hacks on clone copies until you get it right, as long as you keep the
original VM untouched.
I'm assuming you can do this easily. I use VMWare so I'm not sure whether your
vm program has similar/same capabilities.

Ok, I've got an unusual active directory problem, that at 5AM is still keeping
me up thinking about options.
Have a machine that is dying, running Windows 2000 Server. It's a stand alone
PDC. But this machine also has a specific piece of software that may never be
replicated and so we have to preserve it. The hardware just won't stand for
that, though.
So, we virtualized the drives, etc. and all is good. Boots up fine in HyperV
server, software starts, etc.
Issue: it took about a week and a half to get this all back on track with the
help of some vendors on some specific pieces of hardware. In the meantime, we
left the dying box run, thinking we'd do this as a test to then merge over just
the changed data as we finished.
Except they've added a few new users and PCs, which I didn't count on happening
:(
So, I can't run a "System State" restore in Win2k, because it will bomb (registry is changed since this has been repair installed to make work on a VM) tried that with a copy of a VHD.
The machine name it has (SERVER1) is the same as the physical machine name,
etc.. in all purposes it's a clone.
Has anyone tried to just manually copy only the NTDS folder from one to another
assuming machine names and IDs are the same? This technically should work in
this goofy circumstance in win2k, but I can't find anyone who has tried such a
feat..
