MSDE 2000 on a Domain Controller

Hello everyone, I have searched the forum regarding this topic and have found numerous good threads about installing SQL Express on a DC. My question is, I am assuming that if installing SQL Express on a Domain Controller is not recommended, that installing the MSDE 2000 on a Domain Controller is not recommended either?

Thanks in advance to all replies!

Yes, it is not recommended.

However, Microsoft Small Business Server does make an exception and install MSDE (previous versions of SBS) or SQL Express on the DC.

The primary reason for the current recommendation is due to traffic. For MSDE, it was for security and traffic.

Thanks Arnie, that is what I thought.
