Couldn’t you copy over the VM to your test domain and at least test your plan and prove it would work, or not.

Restore one of your DC’s to a test domain. Seize all the rolls, metadata cleanup for all the missing DC’s. Copy your VM over to that domain, bring it up and test both plans. I have a test domain. But it's a virtual one, and not accessible to any machine on my production network (it's all one a private switch on one ESX server). So I can't test it that way, as the test domain can not reach out to my backup server to do the BMR, therefore I can't duplicate the methods appropriately. ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
