Is there a windows server 2008 equivalent of a windows 7 password reset disk? thanks,

Yes there is such a function in Windows Server 2008. However please noticed that it is not available if it is a DC, as there is no local account anymore.Shaon Shan| TechNet Subscriber Support in forum| If you have any feedback on our support, please contact tngfb@microsoft.com

the domain controller, that is active directory? I should have hyper-V on the server, then the DC in a VM by itself and other servers in 1 or more other VMs? The password for the admin account can be stored in a windows client like reset disk and used to reset the admin password from a VM which is not the DC? The more I type, the more confused I get. thanks,
