You have my sympathies and respect for the Netware work...<shudders> - Andy S. -----Original Message----- From: Andy Ognenoff [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2008 10:43 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Vitualizing a DC
I second that approach, P2V with Windows boxes are pretty straightforward. I've done 2 DCs and they took about 20 minutes each. Virtualizing Netware 6 with iSCSI storage on the other hand, is a bear. - Andy O. ________________________________________ From: Andy Shook [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2008 9:35 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Vitualizing a DC If there are no issues with the existing DC, just convert it. I just did this for my DEV domain and it was easy-peasy. The only advice I can give is make sure the disk(s) are neat, i.e., get rid of any stagnant data, the Windows patches uninstall folders (found in %systemroot%\system32\$NTUnistallKB..yada,yada,yada) and any old apps. These simple actions sped up my P2V process considerably. ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~ ~ Upgrade to Next Generation Antispam/Antivirus with Ninja! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbelt-software.com/SunbeltMessagingNinja.cfm> ~
