Making SQL 2008 server a domain controller

    We have a Windows server 2008 enterprise machine with SQL server 2008 and also working as a file server. Would there be any major problems with making this a Domain controller and installing Exchange 2007?

    I have read that there are some issues:
    -You cannot run SQL Server services on a domain controller under a local service account or a network service account.
    -After SQL Server is installed on a computer, you cannot change the computer from a domain member to a domain controller. You must uninstall SQL Server before you change the host computer to a domain controller.

    Im wondering, apart from the above are there any issues I may encounter.

    This server has 32gb ram and 2x3ghz quad core processors so no shortage on resources.

    what do you plan on using as a backup domain controller ?

    OT is it possible to run a domain controller in a VM ?
