The main reason I want a physical DC is to avoid the chicken-and-egg problem of starting the Hyper-V host when the DC is a guest on that host.

We already have the hardware, so that's easy. -- Ben ~ 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
