    VPC clone the live production environment?

    Hi,

    I want to set up a clone to our exisiting live environment - 2 DC + Exchange
    + File servers, etc. I want to use the same domain name, computer names and
    IP addresses as the live ones.

    I know that I can set up all the VPCs using "Local Only" as network adapter.
    However, I need to download updates from Microsoft, etc. Is there a way I
    can connect the VPCs to the Internet, but not interferes with the live
    infrastructure?



    Thanks in advance.

    Ramram

    Yes and no. The simplest way is to set up one vm as a NAT router with
    one NIC in Local Only and the other linked to the physical NIC of the host.

    You can't connect the host directly to the same LAN as the existing
    network if you use the same IP addresses in both networks.
