Navision on a Windows 2003 Domain Controller?

Good day,

Can Navision be installed and used on a Windows 2003 Domain Controller? I am interested to know if there are any issues when installing the native database on a DC.

Thanks.

    I think that it is not problem (still it is only another server, only have some additional functions ;-) but do not forget, that recommended is to have dedicated server.

    The Short Answer:

    Yes, it will run. Provided the server has enough free memory, disk space, and processor power.

    Comments:

    1. Navision recommends using a dedicated server for Navision. The server should have only the minimal services running. (Not a default install).

    2. When the server is asked to run other applications/services along with Navision, these must share system resources (cpu, disk, memory, etc.). If another process has a peak demand for resources the Navsion users may see this as poor performance.

    3. If you are talking about a small network and small Navision database, you would probably be okay until the database grows. I would have a plan to move to a dedicated server as the database grows and performance starts to decline.
    There are no bugs - only undocumented features.
