Installing 7.2 on a domain controllerYour last visit to this thread was on 1/1/1970 12:00:00 AM

Can anyone tell me if there are any special considerations when installing SLX 7.2 on a SBS2003R2 domain controller? It will have SQL, SLX and FTP on this server as well.

Thanks in advance

Quoting from the Planning Guide:

"Configure the Database Server as a stand-alone server and not a primary or backup domain controller."

So it's bad news, but I can't remember the specific reasons.

Great. I found that document, thanks. But does that mean that I can put everything else on the domain controller, just not the Db server?

Actually, you can put the lot on one server - it doesn't create a problem. However, you run the risk of encountering every Microsoft "told you so". Essentially, it works - but apps will compete for resource so you need to ensure you have a very very small user population and a decent box to host it on.

Of course you can install the SQL database on SBS2003. Windows 2003 SBS is Microsoft's platform for small businesses, who needs to install all services on one machine. From my point of view it's only a question of available ressources (e.g. RAM, harddisks, RAID and son on) on your machine.

We are running SLX 6.2 on SBS2003 with MS SQL 2005 (all on the same machine) in one of our subsidiaries with 15 SLX users. We never had any performance issues or other problems with SLX or SBS2003.
