P2V domain controller (for a test, the new virtual will not be connected to the network or used in production)

I wanted to check that won't affect my physical domain controller by performing a P2V migration to this subject, we would like to P2V our current DC (in production) to put in our test environment, it's so we can simulate one pass from 2008 to 2012. I would just check that install VMWare converter and performing P2V migration on the active domain controller current WILL NOT affect our current physical machine.

Can someone advise?

DC and P2V = Don t do, since there is absolutely no guarantee that the DC P2Ved work. I had horrible experience during a migration of a data center to a new provider, the provider told us that P2V would be perfectly viable and that they had done several times. So ultimately they tested migration P2V, everything worked. Then, the day of the passage to the they did it again and AD did not come to the top. In the end we had to make a member server new rollback, as well as on the website of the provider and a classic dcpromo Setup does the job.

  • Windows Server 2003 P2V domain controller

    I tried to understand the best way to do it.  We have a backup domain controller that is programmed to be either P2V would or recreated as a virtual machine.  Whatever it is, it's going to happen in our cluster HA.  I wonder if we can make just a P2V using the converter bootable without problems or would it not be better to organize a new virtual machine, and then go through the process of promotion and demotion.  Has anyone ran into any ING questions P2V one domain controller?  I can't really find any advice on this with the exception of a Microsoft document.  I looked on the forum and the exchange of Experts, and the general consensus seems to be, just do not do.  It is best to start from scratch.  I said why?  What happens when you P2V one domain controller?  If this isn't a secondary domain controller, so what about the PDC?  Are there unwritten rules on that?  A white paper that can be nice to look at?  Any help that anyone can give would be great.  For us, the easy way is to P2V, but if this isn't a good idea, then I guess we have the opposite effect.

    Hello

    I bought a new HP Pavilion 550 - 055na with Windows 8 a month or two ago but want to use Windows 7. However, I decided that I will keep the hard, the PC came with, and have the option of Windows 8 in future if I want. So, I'm installing Windows 7 on a new hard drive.

    For Windows XP, it makes a difference if "Simple file sharing" is enabled or disabled.  Simple file sharing is * always * activated if you have Windows XP Home Edition and it is the default setting in XP Pro.  Sharing files Simple enabled, * all * users who are connected to a network on your machine are forced to authenticate on the machine as the 'Guest' user - which means that you have no user authentication in Windows Home or XP Pro without disabling Simple file sharing.  This means that every network user has access only to files to the files which has permissions for the Guest user.

    If you have XP Pro and disable Simple file sharing, then you can ask users to authenticate on your local machine and give everyone access to its own set of file permissions.  If the user connects to a network computer that contains the same user name and password that the user is currently logged on the local computer, the authentication is automatic.

  • That means "another device on the network use the IP address of your computer"?, that means "another device on the network is using the IP address of your computer?

    That means "another device on the network use the IP address of your computer"?, that means "another device on the network is using the IP address of your computer?

    A

    Most likely, the computer becomes a network address of a router. The assignment of an address ("lease") expires and must be renewed after a certain period of time, which could be an hour or a day. The lease expired without being renewed because the device has been disconnected at the time. Meanwhile, the address has been leased to another device on the network, or maybe the router has not updated its list of addresses the leases. When the device offline comes back online, a conflict results. Depending on the type of router you have, the conflict can resolve itself automatically. If not, then in the menu bar, select please

    ▹ System Preferences network ▹ 

    If the preferences window is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Click the Advanced button, and then select the TCP/IP tab in the sheet that drops down. Look at the menu option

    Configure IPv4

    If the selection in this menu is

    Using DHCP

    Click on the button

    Renew the DHCP lease

    Test.

    Make sure that you have more than one DHCP server on the network. That could happen if you have more than one access point Wi - Fi, or if you have a router and broadband a wide device distinct in connection mode sharing.

    B

    Less likely, you have a network address that you assigned yourself and another device is itself by assigning the same address. In this case, the selection to configure IPv4 menu will be either manually or using DHCP with manual address. This kind of conflict will not be resolved automatically. You have the following options to solve:

    1. Change the selection in menu using DHCP.
    2. Change the address assigned manually to one that is not used by another device.
    3. Change the address of the other device.

    Which of these options you choose depends on the details of why you use a static IP address. Any changes you make to the network settings is necessary before taking effect. To do this, click OK, and then click apply.

    If the router is also your device at wide band, then he may be operating in bridged mode. In this case, only one customer at a time will be able to connect to the Internet. Consult the manufacturer or ISP documentation for how to reconfigure the device in the connection mode sharing.

    C

    According to a report a "DirectTV" receiver can cause the problem. If necessary, disconnect the device from the network, or power off and test. Consult the support services provider.

    My new printer will not print on my Quicken reconcile report.  It prints my program Word and e-mail very well

    If I understand correctly your new printer (brand and model, please) is properly installed on your computer (version of Windows and the service pack, please), but does not print Quicken (version, please) reconciliation report.

    Without more information (such as an error message or description of what happens when you try to print), it sounds like all you need to do is to set up Quicken to use the new printer.  The following is for 2011 Quicken, but should be the same or similar for all recent versions of Quicken:

    Click file > printer setup > for reports/charts
    In the window that opens, select your new printer using the drop-down list.  You should keep the default margins and fonts.  Click OK and you should be good to go.
