Can wines 2008 server be both RDP server and domain controller?

Question

Domain name market

In general, the question is: is there a RDP server on which a couple of clients work, is it possible to give it another role, the role of a domain controller? Will work? So is it good or bad to do? According to the RDP, only 3-5 people are sitting, no more.

Answer 1

It is bad to do so simply because these are risks, and the task of the administrator is to reduce the risks.
The chance of damaging the server is high, and the risk that it will bring the ENTIRE network to a halt means that the loss may be greater than buying a separate server for RDP.
And damage - well, for example, to score all the free space on the disk.
PS All of course depends on your company and network.

Answer 2

It is possible, but why? Technically, there are no such restrictions, it will just be necessary to modify the default policies.
