Hi,
We have virtualised development labs that are direct clones of our production environment, including names, IP addresses and Active Directory. These labs are ring fenced using virtual network appliances with firewall rules that allow access to specific ports.
The issue we have is that when passwords expire either in the labs or in production AD, it causes issues for our developers. Also, when new users are created in production, the process has to be repeated in multiple labs which is a bit of a time sink, even
with scripts.
Currently we sporadically do system state restores to AD controllers in the labs to get them in sync with prod but this also requires us re-adding all the servers back onto the domain and again is tedious process. Is there any way to sync from production
AD to the labs AD?
Thanks in advanced.
Mark
