Thanks
for that info Ken... I'm actually using Vmware for part of the
lab.
Sorry
but I forgot to mention the most important part of that Q.
I want
a way to regularly synch / update the test lab, in terms of OUs, GPOs, objects
etc. I think it's going to have to be a manual porcess but was just curious to
see if there were any gems out there.

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Test Lab CreationI've seen some neat things being done with one or a very few machines using Microsoft's Virtual PC or VMWare to simulate many machines. You could take a few, well configured PCs to emulate your domain while keeping those PCs on an isolated network.Check out Microsoft's Virtual PC or VMWare to see if they could meet your requirements.FYI, a well configured PC is one with at least a 1GHz processor and a minimum of 1 GB of RAM. You don't need a network card if you only want the machines to communicate within one PC host.Kenneth W. (Ken) Adams, MCSA, MCSE
