Hello to you all!
We are implementing here at the University KVM virtualization for our servers and services and i was wondering if anyone virtualized domain cotrollers to KVM. Does anyone done this before? Any advice?
If you need to support restoring your Windows domain controller VM from a snapshot or you need to live migrate it then you need Server 2012 and a hypervisor that provides a VM generation ID.
I don't believe KVM supports this and it's only available in Xen in the upcoming Xen 4.5 release.

Samba also works fine in virtualization. I've been publishing tools to build Samba 4.1, capable of acting as a fairly drop-in replacement for Active Directory, for RHEL 6 (and thus compatible with CentOS and Scientific Linux 6) over at My toolkit is over at https://github.com/nkadel/samba4repo.
If you've worked your way up to CentOS 7, RHEL 7, etc., Samba 4.1.1 is built-in and much easier to update as needed.
