That shouldn't matter very much, because, suppose hypothetically you already had a windows server running AD. And another running redundancy. And later you come up with some "other reason to use that tech," such as an application that requires IIS or MS SQL. What then? Put it on the same VM's that are acting as directory controllers? It can be done, but it's not best practice. Best practice is to run directory services, and only directory services, on the AD controllers. So "no other reason to use windows server" should be more or less irrelevant. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
