Straight on the fly conversion. If it works, don't fix it. Taking a dc offline and moving to a new dc, while is good practice, its exactly that and you always end up with old metadata in the AD, DNS etc.
_____ From: Joe Fox [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2008 10:30 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Vitualizing a DC I was thinking about virtualizing my 2003 Domain Controller (3 User network) and running it under VMWare. I'm debating as to which way to do this. Would it be better to P2V the existing DC with the VMWare converter and import it, or would it be better to just put up another VM, promote to DC, and then move the FMSO roles from the existing DC and then decommission it? Thanks in advance.
