You can certainly have a DC that is a VM. You could also, have a physical box for your DC. Or both...
I'm confused when you say "physical boc attached to hyper-v host" - what are you trying to accomplish there? I have a server at home that runs my lab. I present storage to it from my NAS. I have a DC, ConfigMgr server, virtual workstation clients, etc. I have another physical laptop that is on the same subnet and domain joined to my lab.

Thanks, but are you saying I need a physical box for the DC and a physical workgroup switch ( ?? ) to do that or is this just your choice? -roland From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mark Mears Sent: Mittwoch, 5.

Roland, Here is my setup at home for my lab: Physical machine used as Hyper-V Host Physical machine used as DC All other machines are virtual The way I accomplish this is to place the Hyper-V host and guests on a particular LAN segment using a workgroup switch. I use 192.168.10.x as the network with a 255.255.255.0 subnet mask. I assign a DHCP scope to exist and grant addresses from 192.168.10.101-200 for DHCP clients. The range below that scope I use for statically assigned machines (the servers). Any machine that exists on this segment is able to utilize/connect to these virtual machines. I have one open port on the workgroup switch for adding additional wired clients, I also have my wireless laptop in this space as a DHCP client so that I can work with the machines using my laptop while in another room (not the Super Bowl!).

I have a Hyper-V based lab (win 8.1), with a DC (DHCP, DNS), CM12. Everything is working with VMs. Is it possible to use those systems with a physical box attached to the Hyper-V host? I have an additional NIC added to the host, but I can’t get my head around how, if that is even do-able. -R
