The Virtualization of Domain Controllers
Posted by John Policelli on June 20th, 2010
Virtualization is no longer simply a hot topic, but rather it has become vital in most enterprises today. The virtualization of domain controllers is no exception. I’ve personally had several clients express an interest in virtualizing their production domain controllers, and have first hand experience in doing so.
From my point of view, the virtualization of domain controllers is a good thing, provided there are business and/or technical requirements to do so, and the virtualization infrastructure is reliable.
Microsoft has recently posted a couple of posts that speak to the virtualization of domain controllers, which are worth a read:
- How to Virtualize Active Directory Domain Controllers (Part 1)
- How to Virtualize Active Directory Domain Controllers (Part 2)
