asked on

Hyper-V and Active Directory Rights Management Service.

Dears,
I have AD RMS (Active Directory Rights Management Service) installed on Blade server G6, when I monitored it's performance i found it using a little bit from RAM and CPU. I need to install another application that uses RAM and CPU resources but without installing it on the same OS.
Could you advice which solution shall i follow:
1- Install Hyper-v on the host OS and create two virtual machines and move the AD RMS to one virtual machine and install the new application on the other virtual machine.
2- install Hyper-v on the host OS and create one virtual machine with the new application installed.

If option 1 is the best, how to move AD RMS from physical to virtual exactly without impacting current users and configurations.

I would suggest using Disk2VHD from Microsoft

And yes, if you have enough server licenses you can simply use Hyper-V and install 2 separate virtual machines.

But is it applicable to install Hyper-V and create one virtual machines for the new application and leave ADRMS on the physical machines ?
nope. Install Hyper-V and install 2 separate virtual machines, one for app, one for AD RMS
realy, I'm so scare from working on Hyper-V, as i heared that it is not releable to run critical applications.
if you have any links that may help me getting a good experience for Hyper-v, i'll appreciated.
Thanks iSiek, but do you have any external articls that talking in depth and attached with snapshots.

Follow best practices and install Hyper-v on the host server and run two virtual machines, one for the application and the other for ADRMS. The Disk2VHD application should work ideally for this situation PS-Support.
