http://support.microsoft.com/kb/325473/en-us How to move a DHCP database from a computer that is running Windows NT Server 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows Server 2003 to a computer that is running Windows Server 2003 Regards, Michael B. Smith MCSE/Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: ActiveDir-owner@mail.activedir.org [mailto:ActiveDir-owner@mail.activedir.org] On Behalf Of Larry Wahlers Sent: Monday, May 12, 2008 1:34 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: P to V a DC (Was: RE: [ActiveDir] VM Image-level backup for AD DR) That's a good point. Except for recreating all the DHCP entries, just making a new DC is probably easier. It would be nice to keep the same name, as we have a naming convention for servers, but it's not critical. -- Larry Wahlers Concordia Technologies The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod MailTo:Larry.Wahlers@concordiatech.org Business Phone: (314) 996-1876 _____ From: ActiveDir-owner@mail.activedir.org [mailto:ActiveDir-owner@mail.activedir.org] On Behalf Of Dan Holme Sent: Monday, May 12, 2008 12:27 PM To: ActiveDir@mail.activedir.org Subject: RE: P to V a DC (Was: RE: [ActiveDir] VM Image-level backup for AD DR) Are you really trying to keep the DCs name, or something? What else is running on the DC? If the DC is dedicated (to AD and 'infrastructure' services like DHCP & DNS), I don't see a whole lot of benefit, vs. just blowing out a new DC and replicating. Keep in mind the goal should be to keep DCs as clean and stable as possible, and regardless how good P2V might be, it's one more 'moving part' in the history of that DC.

Has anybody P to V'd a DC? We're contemplating just that. I'm thinking it should be OK, since it's kinda like doing a graceful shutdown of a DC, then powering it back up again, only this time it's on a VM instead of on the former standalone box. But, I've been wrong before. So, that's why I'm asking the experts! Many thanks in advance, folks. -- Larry Wahlers Concordia Technologies The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod <mailto:Larry.Wahlers@concordiatech.org> MailTo:Larry.Wahlers@concordiatech.org Business Phone: (314) 996-1876
