Yeah I agree SQL on a DC is pretty insane, unless they only had 1 box for domain and had to host it on the system..

We have the netdiag, dcdiag, dns and replication issues resolved. Now we are trying to fix issues in the DC's event logs. One of the DCs is a SQL Server (!!!) and runs Microsoft's NT to Unix stuff. The NT to Unix thing is generating thousands of errors and broke last year in October. How did the DBA "fix" his NT to Unix issues? He uses ADSIEdit on a daily basis to "fix" stuff!!! Why a DBA has access to run ADSIEdit is beyond me. So he asks why I am so concerned about the errors in the event logs. I tell him we need to fix all these errors before the migration so the issues are not brought over to the parent org's AD. His response - "just clear the event log and the errors go away"!!! DOH! How do some people get their jobs???
