We done something like this before - I have P2V our DC's Exchange servers etc and brought them up on a separate physical network in a separate building - We have pretty much cloned our live network.
From: Mark Robinson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 15 October 2009 15:48 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Duplicate Servers Hi, I wonder if anyone can help please. I'm sure I know the answer to this but my brain has gone all squishy today. We are putting together a disaster recovery policy, and I would like to replicate each of the servers that we have on our network using VMware Infrastructure. So first things first I want to build another two domain controllers that replicate my current DC's. Now I would imagine that I cannot build two additional controllers on the same subnet as my existing subnet? I would then have four domain controllers, two of which will be DHCP servers and two of which will be DNS servers. Should I create a new subnet and put the VM servers on this subnet? Or will that not make a difference? Will I need to construct a completely separate test environment, switches, warts and all?? Damn, that networking exam seems like a long time ago now.
