I've made a new server and DCpromo'd it, and also VM'd an existing DC (P2V). Both have been successful. I didn't plan for the success that I've been having and now have outgrown the current storage on the lun in VM. It has all been working great. I have tried to P2V my print server but have had difficulties either with hardware (it's an old Dell Poweredge), or a problem in the hard drive itself. Other than that, I have every expectation that it will work great. I haven't tried DHCP, but there's no magic there. Should work just fine.

However, I would like to VM those boxes. I've Virtualized lots of boxes in the past , just not to a Domain controller running DNS or a box running DHCP. Since Domain controllers , DNS and DHCP apps are such a big part of Microsoft Infrastructure, I wanted to know if anyone has run into any issues or had success doing a VM on a Domain controller with DNS or DHCP? Thanks in advance for your responses.
