Test Environment

[Neville]

I would like to create a replica of our our current AD and use this for a test enviorment so that I if I make any changes, it wont mess up our live enviorment.

 

What is the best, cheapest and easiest way to do this please?

 

Thanks.

use something such as virtual pc or vmware to set it up virtually.

 

remember though that you will need licences for both the virtual setup and the physical (live) setup.
