Virtual Domain Controllers with Hyper-V replica
I have two physical machines with Hyper-V roles installed on both. I wanted to have two virtual DC's on one box and have it replica to the other physical box. I had the domain set up and everything working fine, but when I do a planned failover, none of the AD snap-ins work. I get the error that the domain controller does not exist.
Is it possible to have 2012 domain controller replica to another physical box?

I swear I read Hyper-V Replica was NOT recommended or supported for Exchange and DCs because of how they were designed to begin with. Of course NOW I cannot find any trace of that article that I remember being on a Microsoft site.

So if I do this, why do I get the error? From what I'm reading window server 2012 can handle replica....so why does it not work?....
You can build test lad with Windows 2012 Hyper-V to test Windows 2012 Virtual DC with replica.
Then demonstrate steps mentioned in article "http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn250021.aspx"
Then check all Directory events and AD functionality for critical and warning events.
if everything is fine, you can go ahead and do it in production
