    You 
could use disk-imaging software.  Acronis comes to mind. ; I have not 
used it yet, but I stumbled across it looking for an easy way to move servers to 
different hardware.  Their next version for servers is due out this 
spring, and even supports imaging across different hardware (HALs) and 
processor configurations (single, dual, quad...).  It will make a portable 
file and boot disk, and will retain SID, computer name, ;AD database, 
etc....  The image can be made while the server is running.

Sorin,

  
 

  
This is the situation.We do have 4 DC's in our live environment. However 
  I want to duplicate our domain for test purposes. I need to also be able to 
  grab user account information and stuiff like that, as I will be restoring 
  Exchange, and testing other applications. What I am trying to do is use backup 
  to get things up and running.

AFAIK, yes, since the GUID-versions or whatever it's called, 
    are newer on your active DC, compared to your inactive. This is also 
    one of the (main) reasons I choose to have two real DCs.

Hmm, now that you mention it, I guess I should 
    probably bring it online from time to time to synch it.  Because, I 
    have added an account or two since creating the backup DC, I'd say.  
    Great, now I'm afraid of what will happen when I do bring it 
    online.&amp;n bsp; Will they automatically handle synching the accounts and 
    all?  I'd reckon so.

Your strat egy implies you don't do or change&nbsp;anything 
      too often to your AD. Myself, I'm sort of mirroring the dept setup with 
      DCs, AD and software deployments (most notably servicepacks and new 
      office versions) before I roll them out IRL at the dept. I found this way 
      I'm saving myself quite a few gray hairs...

I have just one DC running, but I have a virtual hard drive file 
      backed up that has a DC installation on it.  I reckon this is ample 
      for home!
