Greetings, We were wondering what people out there use for replication/mirroring of complicated environments. We already have DEV, TEST, PRELIVE and LIVE environments - but these are fast becoming difficult to manage and to restore to the original 'baseline' (or snapshot if you will) We would like the ability to do a complete environment refresh then return to baseline (including ALL technologies like AD, SQL, Exchange, Appsense, APP-V servers, and finally CITRIX) Its ok if the changes to the environments are manual - but we are looking for a way to 'automate' the setup / rollback of the environments? The only requirement thus far is virtual not physical. Any one got any ideas? Could the VMWare LabManager a suitable product for this? Any one had any experience with it?
