Wrong! Sorry I have a Hyper-V host in my test lab with WSUS on it. I know of more than one person on the list that has a DC running on their Hyper-V host (not a config I personally would want but that is neither here nor there). I have done what the OP is wanting without VM 4 but my VM 4 was System Center Essential, and I did have a DC as a VM on the same host. I would suggest you make some changes to your setup though. You did not mention a number of NIC's on the box or how much RAM or for that matter the number of sockets/processors. I personally am in favor of dedicating one NIC per VM and one for the Host. I would suggest you might want to have more than one NIC on the Remote Desktop VM though but I have never done one of those.
RAID 1 System drive maybe 120GM and nothing else on that RAID 1. Keep the system the system put your VM's on another drive. RAID 1 or RAID 5 (depends on how much traffic) for all the VM's. I would stay away from huge drives as I have noticed at $dayjob$ we seem to be getting more than I would expect of the big SAS or SCSI drives failing. Other wise I kind of like your lay out. I have never been a fan of putting File and Print on a DC.
