AD's in virtual environments... rolling back

Hi

In our testlab I have a fairly good copy of the production environment
running within virtual machines. What I would like is to make some kind
of snapshot before someone starts playing in the testlab. So that after
they leave (and messed up the testlab) I can revert back to those
snapshots.

Now my main concern in this is:
- How to make sure that before making a snapshot all replication trafic
is complete.
- Should snapshots be made at the exact same time or is it ok to first
make a snapshot from the first DC and later of the second DC?
- How to revive those snapshots? Will just bringing them online be
enough or do I have to force replication? Will the dc's have no
problems being down for some time?

With kind regards,
Gabrie
