RE: [ActiveDir] Replicating AD

[Creamer, Mark]

Title: Message

I use LDIFDE to export all the objects, save that to a CD, and then import it into the lab domain. Another option would be to add a new DC to your domain, allow it to replicate, take it offline, and manually clean up the removed DC from AD. I don’t particularly like that option – others could say better than I whether that’s a good suggestion or not.   <mc> From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Antonio Aranda Sent: Tuesday, August 02, 2005 12:48 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: [ActiveDir] Replicating AD   I’m trying to setup a test AD that's identical to the production AD with the same OU structure and user accounts.  I'd like to avoid having to manually creating them by hopefully finding a tool that would import all those object.  Does any one know of such a tool?   Antonio This e-mail transmission contains information that is intended to be confidential and privileged.
