It's not speed or resources that scare most of us when it comes to
sharing DC space with other apps, it's security. With SBS Microsoft has
(at least in theory) covered most of those security bases for the admin.
The last time I allowed another admin to install FTP on a server he
inadvertently put no security on it whatsoever and the company I was
with at the time ended up serving up 200 GB of German p0rn. He had lots
of fun explaining why our new server had crashed due to lack of
diskspace.

Well, the servers running the DC, mail, PDC, etc. are quad-processor
SuperMicros, so they aren't even sweatin' hard. I'm watching them,
they're golden. (Thanks, Susan - we think alike.)
(Ahem... don't look now, but we already have 8 IBM e-Business servers
(quad xeon) and are getting more. Don' neeeeeeed no steeeeeeenkin'
SBS's! ;P )

Yeah next they'll be SBS servers being installed there.
(For some of us having our DCs do other things doesn't freak us out as
much as it does you big serverland guys)

I know you probably haven't been there very long, but what in the heck
are they thinking, making DCs mail servers and FTP servers. Might as
well load them up with web services next.
BTW, you probably shouldn't be posting your infrastructure in a
message list.

Al, will do. I tucked FTPSERVER under a desk and forgot about
it. Experience has taught me the hard way not to be in a rush to
tear down machines and cannibalize the parts until you are SURE
it's okay to loot the corpse. Nevermind the smell...
AD and DNS is working as well as can be expected with a
thumb-fingered choom hacking away at it! FTPSERVER **was** a DC,
I think, but I'll fire up the box (OFF of the wire!) and start
looking at it.
Here's what I see for the domain:
How the *&^($(*^ is Sweden in there?? It's NOT an AD server, it
refuses to become one... This entry is from an OLD Sweden server
entry - notice how the guy before me spedded Swe(den).
"IF it ain't broke, don't break it!". Maybe I should just quit
screwing with it - for now...
I'll keep plugging away at it, I guess.
