Cold clone P2V Windows Small Business SERVER 2003?

Hello

Our small business runs a windows server sbs 2003 running exchange and the domain controller.

I read on the forums that it is not recommended to P2V one domain controller and I know to do a conversion, while the host is running, causing errors. But what could be the problem cold cloning the machine and then initialize in esxi? I do not understand the consequences, should not simply be like turn the physical machine and the new? I don't see myself messages in forums to say "don't not P2V a domain controller", but I have not seen someone tell why and if they do hint only 'hot cloning. "

(Sorry if this sounds ignorant, I'm not much more than a windows guy and would prefer not to have to do a full migration if I have to).

Thank you, any help is great

Still, it's true that it's a good idea not to do a P2V of a domain controller... But if it is the only one, and if you do it in a cold way, and if you remember to start with the right time/clock... so you can try the way.

The other solution might be using Microsoft documentation how to an SBS SBS migration (to migrate to a new SBS in a virtual machine). But isn't very simple

  • Behavior of the account profile to prompt when using Windows 7 to connect to a Small Business SERVER 2003 domain

    I just got a complaint from someone saying that the guest account takes more time and more time to log the area.

    We have a number of XP machines and a couple of Windows 7 machines at the reception (to give the impression that we are a company thinging before - you know the kind).  In any case, everything is controlled by a Small Business SERVER 2003 for the integration of Windows 7 machines is that a bit of a botch as well as group policy is concerned.

    The fact is that in my diagnosis, I noticed that the guest account is only given a temporary profile whenever someone connects to use it (it is used for the interviewed work if they need Internet access for some reason any).  Thus, the profile is deleted from the registry and comments folder is removed from C; \Users as soon as they log off.  This was brought to the head when I tried to add a printer to the guest account and could not see all of the printers listed in the AD.

    Is this a normal behavior, or does all the weird sounds you?  It also works with XP in this way?

    Thanks for any input and comments.

    So far, I was unable to join a new Pro 7 laptop running an existing Small Business SERVER 2003 domain. Whenever I try to use:

    http://servername/ConnectComputer  I get a 403 http error and that it points to an IIS issue, but I can't seem to find a way to work around this problem.

    Then I tried to go through the system properties and computer name change and join. Then, I get a message "cannot locate the area." I tried to use the FQDM, only the name of the server, the domain name under the extension, and nothing works. At first, I thought it was a DNS problem, but, I ping the name of the server or any other computer by name, with no problems...

    Don't know what I'm missing here, but if anyone can shed some light on the situation, it would be greatly appreciated.
