Hi James,
Would you mind letting us know what product requires to be installed
on a domain controller? I, for one, would like to shy away from ever
evaluating their product.
Desktop Authority:

E-Policy Orchestrator

Unless I'm mistaken, these both require running on a domain controller of
some kind.
Hi Jim,
Actually, both strongly recommend -not- installing on a domain controller.
I can see where it used to be a requirement, but they advise member servers now.
Desktop Authority page 2 and ePolicy page 6.
Scriptlogic supports NT40 domains and should work on a 2000SP2 or greater
member server. ePolicy just states it needs to be installed on windows 2000SP3
or later including 2003 Web server (which would never be a PDC). They just want
a trust relationship with the PDC although I don't see whether or not
NT style PDC is supported.
I'd check with the vendors, but you may be able to accommodate samba3 as a
NT40 style PDC with both those products. If ePolicy is tightly integrated to
AD,
I don't think that will be supported till samba4.
Regards, Doug
