I want to create a replication of our production domain controller/AD in
the
lab for testing. I want to be able to update it from time to time but do
not
want the lab env interfering with the production env.

Can i do one way replication from PRODUCTION to LAB? What if I do not
replicate to the lab for weeks at a time, assuming I dont want automatic
replication to occur. Our lab is complety segmented from our production
network? We are working on disaster recovery so want to simulate a remote
site that is not able to replicate all the time.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
