Re: Domain Cloning

Hello VENKAT,

What's the reason for having an exact same domain? You have then all SID's also doubled. Please describe more in detail the reason for this clone.

Best regards

Hi,

We are working on a divestiture project with very tight timelines and
hence we decided to clone the AD environment. Please let us know the
drawbacks or any potential issues that many arise. The exact steps we
intend to follow:

1.Install additional Domain Controllers and copy the entire directory-
Owned
by the new entity
2.Backup all the user data (home folders, profiles etc) and restore it
on a
FS owned by the new entity
3.Change the login script/profile paths to reflect the new FS where
the
profiles and data are stored
4.Ensure that AD DNS namespace is not published on internet
5.Add the new physical sunets and sites into AD
6.On the day when the network is seperated, seize the Forest and
Domain FSMO
roles - Ensure that noth AD Forests never talk to each other
7. We are all set
I am presuming that the end user workstations need not be touched at
all, if this approach is adopted.

kindly share your views.

Regards
Venkat
