I just finished installing Server 2012 Essentials on our new server. It will function as a domain controller for a small 15 computer office.
Its sole duty will be to host a few Excel files and an application requiring MSSQL Express. The thing will get little use.
In reading, it is recommended that SQL not be installed on a DC computer. Is this mainly for a performance reasons? Is it a big no no or just not recommended? From what I have read, I might run into a couple of security issues to get around.
I had been running the same setup on a Win2000 Server for years with no problems. If I am in for a nightmare, what running a virtual server be an acceptable work around?
