So if I don't do that with the VM that acts as a DC, I should be okay? Could I think have that VM DC handle FSMO roles?

I posted the link a few weeks ago - check the archives. The main issue is USN rollback. That is just a fact of reverting to a previous snapshot - no matter what the virtualisation product Cheers Ken From: John Hornbuckle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 18 July 2008 12:15 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: My First 2008 Server I thought I had heard somewhere that it wasn't a best practice to run a DC in a VM. I had tried to get confirmation on that a while back, but didn't have much luck. I don't see why running a DC in a Hyper-V VM would be a problem, though-I never really got a good answer on that.

I had mine come in back in May but was told to leave it off until 3rd week of June. I will be doing my DC in Hyper-V which is very nice.

My new server arrived yesterday, and it'll be my first 2008 server in a domain/forest that currently has all 2003 machines. I'll need to make it a DC, so I want to make sure I don't miss anything. Looking at a couple of TechNet articles, it looks like I need to run "adprep /forestprep" on the schema operations master and "adprep /domainprep /gpprep" on the infrastructure operations master server. Is that all?
