From: Paul Bergson [MVP-DS] on 9 Feb 2009 10:02 The big issue is hardware change, I recently took a hardware based cluster and restored it in a virtual space. It worked flawlessly. I can't guarantee it will work, but I'm guessing it will. -- Paul Bergson MVP - Directory Services MCTS, MCT, MCSE, MCSA, Security+, BS CSci 2008, 2003, 2000 (Early Achiever), NT4 http://www.pbbergs.com Please no e-mails, any questions should be posted in the NewsGroup This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights.

There is some leeway in terms of differing hardware, but I gone down all those avenues. |
