I do something very similar and as long as you can keep the two forest
separate (FOREVER!) this should work fine.
I have an article on how to do this along with clean up at (Create a Test AD
Domain)
http://www.pbbergs.com/windows/articles.htm
Be careful though, these two domains ever get talking to one another and it
can create problems. The could part about this is we have a complete domain
image between this and P2V, so we can run full sim testing.

I am trying to get a Virtual test network setup with a copy of our active
directory.
What would be the best way to do this?
I was thinking I could create a Virtual Server on our live network, run
DCPROMO on it to promote it to a DC, make a copy of the virtual server
image file (to be used for testing), then run DCPROMO again on it to
demote it. I would then take the copy of the virtual server image and set
it up on the test network.
Does this sound like a ok/safe way of doing this?
