We are doing a System copy here as follows:
System Source (A), a physical system with EP running on it.
System Target (B), a virtual machine on vSphere tech.
1. The migration has a upgrade of the Operational System and SQL (Win 2003 SQL2005 to Win 2008R2 SQL 2008 R2). That's OK, this is a Homogeneous systemcopy, we are confortable with it.
2. The A and B system must coexist, the strategy is that, the B system will be created with BHostName, we are going get this machine on domain, log with the A System SIDADM to get all the user parameters THEN we will remove it to another vlan in order to change the BHostName to AHostName and the we will follow the Import migration process.
The point is: When executing the systemcopy, the interface asks if the user is Local or from Domain, at this point what is your advise?
What should I care of?
If I say to use the Local Domain, what problems I would have to face when I take this system to the Domain?
If I say to use another domain and insert the domain "domain.corp", will the systemcopy check if the user really exist on the domaing? What I regard here is if the systemcopy will check inside the domain, since the system will be out of domain until the "Go-Live".
Best regards,
