Yes, we are weighing that also!  It certainly would simplify things 😊  but, 
wouldn’t that make it easier for the Russians?  LOL

A DC is easy.  For Exchange, have you considered Office 365?

We are looking to subcontract a new build of Exchange / Domain Controller.  Our

with 48GB.  They charge a whopping $ 60 to put in dual TB SATA drives and 
establish the mirror (RAID 1) for you, so figured we might as well.  Although, 
in reality, I like the idea of an SSD drive for speed purposes, but have not 
used them in a RAID 1 config.  Not sure if this box would support that.

Thinking of redundancy, we have a couple ProxMox boxes (pretty loaded but could 
be used in a pinch to move the DC / Exchange VM over to it (IF we do a VM).  
So, might be good to do this box as a ProxMox VM also.

So, looking for someone who can put this software install together for us for a 
reasonable price.

If you know somebody...
