 Posted: Mon Feb 11, 2008 1:15 pm Post subject: Virtualization AD Controller |
 |
|
Hi,
I have a general question about virtualization of AD Controllers.
We have a Single Domain and 6 physical Win 2003 DCs in our central location.
Also we have a big VM Ware installation within approx. 300 Windows Machines.
Know we discuss the option to virtualize 3 of the physical DC’s, the FISMO
roles should stay on physical Hardware. Our test environment is yet complete
virtualized.
Do you have any experience, limitations, best practices, … about the
virtualization of DCs. I know it is not supported by Microsoft.
Thank you
Ingo |

Ingo,
that's actually not entirely true - Microsoft added support for running
doman controllers on virtual machnes in Windows Server 2003 SP1 - however,
not surprisingly, this does not apply to VMware (as the
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/897615/ states).
Refer to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888794 for additional
considerations of this arrangement...
