We have a Win 2003 server currently running SQL 2000 as a standalone box. We
now would like to set the box as a domain controller as part of a our
internet configuration.

We've been warned that there might be some issues in promoting the server as
a domain controller, primarily with SQL Server. Does anyone have any advice
in this regards?

Thanks,

Christian
