Hi,

My main issue is i need to set this on my machine which is on the production network at the same time have say about 3 to 4 virtuall Os installed and have them as a seperate network except a DHCP server i will be installing ADS,DNS,WINS,Exchange,LCS etc.Will there be any issues.
Will i be able to make the 4 machines talk to each other.They by any chance shoul not talk to my production machine.
So if i select Local only there must be no problem.

Even if i have a DHCP will it not allot ips to my production network...
it will, so you will need to set them statically.....
if you don't want to assign static addresses, then you would have to use the windows firewall to block any communication with your actual domain IP range....
