I’m running Win Server 2003 Ent Ed on a machine that has three partitions,
one of them FAT32. When reading through “Configuring a domain controller” I
came across a statement that said verify that “all existing disk volumes use
the NTFS file system.”

I’m running a DOS based Point Of Sale application on the FAT32 partition so
I’m concerned about setting up a domain controller and AD. What options do I
have? Thanks!
