Made a recent migration from VMware to Hyper-V.  I have 2 domain Joined Hyper-V Servers in a failover cluster configuration sharing a Dell ME5024 iSCSI SAN.  both servers have a virtualized Domain Controller running on Local SDD Storage (not in the Cluster).   I have a 3^(rd) Domain Controller still running on VMware.   I want to finally take the VM host and convert it over to Hyper-V.  It is dissimilar hardware, so it will not be joining the cluster.  I have few questions for the experts.

1.      Is there any reason to not move the two DC’s from local storage to the Cluster considering that I have one outside the cluster?

2.      Should I join the new HV host to the domain or leave it isolated.  I plan to put a 3^(rd) DC on it?

3.      If Yes, Is it safe to live migrate the DC’s to the cluster>

4.      Should I put the FSMO roles on the 3^(rd) DC.   Currently they are on one of the DC’s on the local storage?

The reason that I want to move the DC’s to the cluster, is the local VM’s are not being shut down properly when I try to do cluster aware updating.

Installing CSE to replace SSL VPN. I've installed the client on a PC and when the client is in the office (on the X0 Subnet), it is giving me TCP flood warnings. The interesting thing is that this it is between devices that are both on the X0 subnet. I added the MAC address of the X0 subnet to the Trusted network and the CSE client says the Service tunnel is disconnected. This traffic should not even be hitting the firewall.

Possible TCP Flood on IF X0 - src: 10.xx.x.xx:7680 dst: 10.xx.x.xx:61273

Any Ideas???

Quick question, do you leave CSE set to automatically start? It is set that way by default and it starts when the users are in the office. Just wondering if that causes any issues?
