Hi guys,
We're planning to setup our testing environment which will model the production network as close as possible.
We have setup the network/routers for the testing and it's working ok.
Now the focus is on the domain restore.
Our production contains one domain with two sites: CHINA site and USA site;
USA site has 2 DC: USDC1, USDC2;
USDC1 holds the naming master and schema mater, USDC2 holds the PDC,RID and IM;
China site has 1 DC: CNDC1;
All DCs are GC;
We use windows server backup to backup each DC every day contains system state and C;
Now here it goes:
Do you have any suggestions on how to setup the DCs accordingly in the testing network?
We're planning to use Windows Complete PC Restore to restore the DC backups to the testing machine: USDC2 will be using a physical server, USDC1 and CNDC1 will be VM; will this work?
Which DC do i need to restore first? any other considerations?
