Ronk, The server needs to be IN the AD, not to be a DC of the AD. As long as you add it the AD, it will talk with the DCs to get the informations he needs, and everything will work perfectly. (With better performance than if he was a DC also.)

I didn't think I could just bring on line as a stand alone. Will it still talk ok with AD as far as users email accounts and all ?
