I have inherited a domain setup at my new company and unfortunately a few of the 2008 R2 domain controllers only have 1 hard drive installed so if that drive fails the server is gone. I am going to purchase a second hard drive so I can get this DC on a RAID system, but was wondering the best way to do so. I was looking into doing a BMR of the domain controller but I have some concerns since it is a DC. I would perform the backup first, add the second drive, create a RAID1 and then boot the Windows DVD and restore from the BMR that I created earlier. My plan is to do this all in one day.
Has anyone successfully used BMR on a DC? The server does have other roles beside just being a DC so I really don't want to have to rebuild the server.
