So the question is Rob.. any chance you have a decent enough machine worthy of being a dc, not knowing the load it is going to have to deal with!

Otherwise you'll end up with issues with replication and other things if it ends up on the firewall without a lot of tweaking. -----Original Message----- From: Rob Moore [mailto:RMoore@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2005 2:38 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: DC on ISA 2004 vs Exchange 2003 http://www.ISAserver.org Kind of a crummy choice, eh? How busy is the Exchange server? I inherited a network a while back (supervising another organization's IT in the same building). For the first year or so their Exchange server was also their second DC. It didn't seem to cause any problems. Made me nervous, though, and eventually we got the DC function off there. Anyway, if I had to choose, I'd choose to put it on the Exchange server. Better yet, I'd put Windows Server on a plain old PC and make that your backup DC until you can get it onto a real server.

Which one would you sacrifice?
