Adding the Source Virtual DC to the Cloneable DC Group
The first step to cloning the DC is to add it to the Cloneable Domain Controllers group in Active Directory. This can be done in Active Directory Administrative Center (ADAC), as shown in Figure 7.16, or it can be inputted via the following PowerShell cmdlet (assuming a domain of companyabc.com):
Add-ADGroupMember –Identity "CN=Cloneable DomainControllers,CN=Users,DC=companyabc,DC=com" –Member "CN=2012-DC2,OU=DomainControllers,DC=companyabc,DC=com"
