I have .Net code that will read / write to our local Active Directory domain. The reading part has been tested and works fine, but I want to check the "recording" part. My application will modify some user profiles in the active directory, but I do not want to implement this on a real server just in case something breaks. What is the best approach to testing the write function without risking a server crash?
Is there a way to replicate Active Directory to another server and run tests on this new server, unlike the original Active Directory domain? I was thinking of adding a test machine as an additional domain controller to my domain so that it copies the schema. Then, taking it out of the network and running tests on it, and if it breaks, our real domain does not affect it.
Can someone tell me what is the best approach to do this? The more detailed, the better .. Thank you.
