Virtual DC Considerations.

[JOstro]

I plan on vitualising my primary domain controller. This dc is the owner of

all fsmo roles.

I have read that it is not a suggested to P2V this machine, In which case I

will rebuild.

Are there any considerations I should be taking into account when

running a virtualised domain controller.

Any white papers or help would be appreciated

Time keeping is the biggest issue I have come across when virtualising DCs as well. As long as you build them fresh (don't P2V), and have the root domains PDC Emulator time sync sorted, you should be ok.
