RE: [ActiveDir] MS Exchange Tools on Domain Controller
Heck even when installing patches I would recoomend avoiding desktop logon. My usual process would be to wrap the qfe in a batch file that would fire it and then rcmd into the server to do the launch. Yes, you are running a console from the server but I found it is less likely to have accidents that way still as the whole point and click thing is out of the way. As a rule, I like to see DCs running lean and mean. That way when you have issues, and you will, they are much simpler to chase down. If you have to chase through 60 different pieces of software that could be possibly causing issues you aren't going to be happy because generally DC issues are very visible issues and you have exceeded the weight rating on your butt. I have also found that MS is far more helpful in troubleshooting when you have ALL MS products on the server and nothing else, they have no place to toss the potatoe. Not that I blame them, I understand completely. joe From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chuck OppermannSent: Saturday, May 22, 2004 12:56 AMTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] MS Exchange Tools on Domain Controller I’d like to reinforce Joe’s point. I go by the following rule of thumb – “A Windows machine is only as stable as the worst piece of software installed on it.” The less of anything installed on any critical machine, the better. Logging onto a DC should be an absolute no-no unless something truly cannot be done remotely, like installing a patch.
