Our organization is in the process of implementing a disaster recovery simulation. The scenario which is giving me problems is, For disaster simulation of our PDC which is also our File Server, we are planning to bring down the PDC, restore its files to a spare server, install the applications, name the spare server the same as the PDC (to test the connectivity). Once the test is finished, rename the spare server back to its original name. The question is, would I be able to name the spare server the same as PDC while the actual PDC is down. Is there, any other way of doing this. thanks!
