No, we simply have separate environments - and therefore AD instances - for dev, UAT, pre-prod and prod.
Each has a different server name and directory root name.
So, after we have built in the dev environment we would like to export the directory and web configurations into the next environment - UAT without having to manually reconfigure everything.
However, as the exported data is not human-readable we don't know what environment-specific information is in there and therefore what needs to be changed during or after the import.
Thanks,
Bernie
