In reply to Pete. I did not do so in my lab. None of my target devices had any issues. Webster

Excellent and very helpful!! Thanks a lot!

One question:
Do I have to stop the running target devices before switching to the database(s)?

In reply to Jose Restrepo.

According to the PVS documentation, only a mirror with witness is supported.

Database mirroring
Considerations:
•For Provisioning Services to support MS SQL database mirroring, the database needs to be properly configured with High-safety mode with a witness (synchronous).

Great site and i wish you good luck in the future.

2 questions:
1.how does this defer from using the 2 sql server option in PVS. Is this better in any way other than letting sql manage the mirror and not PVS?
2. Is a witness server really needed? can i do this with just 2 servers?

Thank you!!
