Author Cloning Prod System to New QA System BT2004

We decided to get our act together and build our QA system. Ideally, I want
a copy of production. We're thinking of backing-up or production databases,
restoring them to our SQL-QA server, then running Biztalk install and
"joining" an existing system.

Our two concerns are:

1) SSO - we could just restore the master secret to the new QA system?

2) Hosts - The hosts will be in the BiztalkMgmtDB database, but no
corresponding services will exist on the Operating System. How do we create
the services? Do we have to delete the hosts and re-add them? Can we just
run the utility to add a new service?

Are we playing with fire here - should we even attempt this? Any other
"gotcha's" to watch out for? Is there a better procedure to folow?

Thanks,
Neal Walters
