Has anyone had any luck in taking a system state backup of a production 2003 Server DC and then restoring it to a VMWare Server machine(beta version)? I'm getting Jet errors when I try to do an authoritative restore in ntdsutil. I would rather not bring up a virtual DC in production to capture the AD objects for our lab environment. I just want to create a replica of our production AD in our lab using the backup/restore method if possible.
Thanks for your help!
