And this demonstration will see how to prepare a domain controller to become a source domain controller
for cloning and then create a clone.
I'll try to explain every step of the demonstration.
As mentioned in the previous lessons to follow alone you'll need to have available virtual machine environment.
So first I'll prepare a source domain controller for cloning on this Iran and server manager I'll click
tools and then click Active Directory administrative center in the Active Directory administrative center
double click a datum domain in your case it could be another name and then in the management list double
click the domain controllers or you in the management list I'll select my domain controller which is
long this one if it's not already selected and then in that task Spain in the long C1 one section click
Add to group in the select groups dialog box in the enter the object names to select aisle type loanable
and then click check names ensure that the group name is expanded to colonial domain controllers and
then click okay again now on the start menu I'll click windows power or shell and add the windows power
shall command prompt I'll type the following command and then press center I'll type get a d d see cloning
excluded application list I have to verify the list of critical apps in production you need to verify
each app or use a domain controller that has fewer traps installed by default then type the following
command and then press center aisle type get a D D C Clone in excluded application list dash generate
X amount I'll type the following command to create the DC clone config dot example file and then press
enter.
So let me type new HDD seek long config file next I'll type the following command to shut down long
DC 1 and then press enter.
I'll type stop.
Dash computer and I have to weigh the virtual machine to shut down you might be asked to confirm the
shutdown.
Now we have 2 x export to the source virtual machine.
So all the host computer in Microsoft hyper v manager in the details Spain select the Domain Controller
you've repaired before in my case it's long the C1 and in the action span in the laundry C one section
Klieg export now in the expert virtual machine dialog box go to the location where you'll keep your
files for example C drive colon backslash.
And in my case I'll place the files in GMP folder and then click expert.
Wait until the expert finishes and when the expert is finished you have to click Start and the action
span in there along the c section to start this virtual machine.
Now we have to create and start the client domain controller again on the host computer in the hyper
v manager in the action span.
And in this section named for the host computer click import virtual machine in the import virtual machine
wizard on the.
Before you begin page click next and on the locate folder page Click Browse and browse through the files
folder in my case it's Sue drive to MP folder I'll click select folder and then click next and told
us select virtual machine page I'll select Lowndes see one if it's not already selected and then click
next and on the choose import type page.
Select copy the virtual machine and create in you unique idea and then click Next only Choose folders
for virtual machine files page select the store the virtual machine in a different location for each
folder location specify the folder you'll need for example in my case at C drive GMP folder as the pass
then click next on the complete an import resource page click finish and in the management list identify
and select the newly imported virtual machine named along the C one which has the stage shown as off
then go to the lower section of the action span and click rename type A your name I'll name it long
this is 3 as the name and then press enter learning the action span in along the c 3 section click start
and then click connect to see the virtual machine started starting while the solo restart and you might
see the message Domain Controller cloning is at some percent completion.
So in this demonstration we've seen how to prepare a source domain controller for glory and how to expert
the source virtual machine and create and start the cloned domain controller.
So first with prepared domain controller for clone and then export to the source virtual machine and
then created and started the clone domain controller.
