Yes. And the question is...? 8-)
The mirroring I'm speaking about below isn't a real mirror-mirror, but
rather a similar setup on both places, different hardware though etc, but in
all a similar setup, not exactly mirrored. It still enough though to seek
out any "gotchas'" before it goes live in the "real" dept setup.
I'm sorry if I wasn't clear on this.

Sorin,
This is the situation.We do have 4 DC's in our live environment. However I
want to duplicate our domain for test purposes. I need to also be able to
grab user account information and stuiff like that, as I will be restoring
Exchange, and testing other applications. What I am trying to do is use
backup to get things up and running.

AFAIK, yes, since the GUID-versions or whatever it's called, are newer on
your active DC, compared to your inactive. This is also one of the (main)
reasons I choose to have two real DCs.

Hmm, now that you mention it, I guess I should probably bring it online
from time to time to synch it. Because, I have added an account or two
since creating the backup DC, I'd say. Great, now I'm afraid of what will
happen when I do bring it online.&n bsp; Will they automatically handle
synching the accounts and all? I'd reckon so.

Your strat egy implies you don't do or change anything too often to your
AD. Myself, I'm sort of mirroring the dept setup with DCs, AD and software
deployments (most notably servicepacks and new office versions) before I
roll them out IRL at the dept. I found this way I'm saving myself quite a
few gray hairs... 8-)

I have just one DC running, but I have a virtual hard drive file backed
up that has a DC installation on it. I reckon this is ample for home!
