VSMT Migration

Hi all,

I have a few questions regarding the use of the VSMT and ADS (both of which
I'm new to).

I'm working in a Windows 2003 AD Domain, with pre-existing DHCP servers. I
have setup VS2005 on a new Windows 2003 Server installation, and have
installed VSMT and ADS on the same server.

1. Does the ADS Server need to be authorized in the Domain as a DHCP server?
2. Does the ADS Server (or VSMT) need to be co-located with a DHCP server?
I've found docs on how to run ADS + DHCP on the same box, but I want to leave
the DHCP servers untouched, if possible.

I have XP, 2003, and 2000 Server setup as virtual machines right now, and I
haven't had any problems, but I have a test server setup for P2V migration
(Windows 2000 Server on a Dell GX400) and booting a RBFG disk just hangs at
boot (not able to find DHCP server). Hopefull I just need to update the BIOS
come Monday morning.

Thanks in advance,

Tony
Thanks

Tony, VSMT and ADS on one server with DHCP disabled, using existing
DHCP servers elsewhere on the same subnet works just fine - in our
house. Watch out for other RIS servers if you have any for server or
desktop deployment as ADS will compete to serve RIS if in fully
automatic mode.

1. No need to authorise
2. No need to co-locate

Good luck.

Mark
