Hi Mike,
FYI I have a MOSS 2007 installation on a P3 1.0Ghz Laptop w/768 MB + Windows Server 2003 running as a domain controller + WSUS. Its my test server and works flawlessly for 3-4 users. Performance is terrible for the first user to touch sharepoint and I had to tune search indexing to reduce the load (it indexes over night). Search completes in 2 seconds on average. The CPU sits at 8% when idle and the first bottleneck is definitely memory. If you load up your old server with as much memory as it can take, the system will work ok. Caveat: Its not a best practice and I wouldnt recommend this scenario as a production system, but it can be done.

This is due to performance of both the DC and SharePoint. What Role are you looking to put on the DC? WFE? Job/Index?

From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of MacDonald, Mike Sent: Friday, 5 September 2008 5:20 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [OzMOSS] Advice: Sharepoint on DC Does anyone have any advice of negatives of operating sharepoint(WSS) on a domain controller. I would be taking nightly images of the server, so if something happened we could just image it back. Also, would have IIS running on an older server, so there is not that security issue. Just wondering I know if a large environment it would be dumb, but I am talking 50 users max.
