We currently have a workgroup setup with a Windows 2003 server running SQL. We are moving to Exchange 2007 on Windows 2008 and would like to make that the primary Domain Controller. Can I then make the Windows 2003 (SQL) Server a DC as well?

I read something about it would erase all local accounts if I did this - any truth to that? Would we need to do anything with the existing databases prior to making it a DC in the 2008 forest?

Thanks for any advice
