Doing a cold clone, you boot using a CD and it opens a pre-installation
environment and launches the P2V software. It clones the server to a VM
and then you just boot the VM. Leave the physical box off. Make sure all

I think the key point is that, for all intents and purposes, the original
machine must go away. I would never try to P2V a DC, keep the original
running, then try to get the clone going by changing the name or whatever.
What an absolute mess that would be. Creating a new member server and

router / access point handle that. J

Well, we've got a project in the works (mainly just getting budgetary
