Virtual Machines are great for testing, but keep this in mind:

Restoring a Client to a previous state sometimes makes it loose 
connection to Active Directory. Then it must be taken out and back in 
again. Annoying, but sometimes I had do do it. No other side effects 
seen so far.

I assume that restoring the server to a previous state can cause this as 
well, but for all clients at once.

Warning: Having two AD replicated servers and restoring one of them to a 
previous state can probably cause serious damage to the Active Directory 
database.
