Subject: [ActiveDir] Ammunition, please!

I am being asked to install a single server in a remote location (about 20 
miles from here, 20 users) that will be a DC for our entire network, running 
DHCP and DNS, acting as a file server and print server for this remote 
location. And, this server will be in an unlocked rack in a semi-public area 
where literally anyone could gain physical access to the box. At the very 
least, the 20 employees will be walking past it every day.

There are many red flags about this scenario. I can think of a few. But, what I 
need is documentation from an *external* source that tells management just how 
bad an idea this is. After all, they won't believe me, but they might believe 
an "expert."

At the very least, I would want the rack in which this server is placed to be 
locked 24/7. Better would be a locked room.

All help welcomed with many thanks.
