I have three computers:

1) P35 Neo/G33 w/intel Core 2 Duo x64 (no hyper-v support), 2.40GHz, 4GB
RAM, Win2008, Production Server
2) P35 Neo2 w/Celeron, 2.66GHz, 4GB RAM, WinXP Pro SP3, Software Development
3) old school ThinkPad, used as a file server and stuff....

I want to make a basic domain using these computers. It's just only me and
no other users will be on the domain. How ever I will be using the server
for internet access for my customers to login for services, and etc...

This is what I was thinking I could do and would appreciate your feedback.

On the server: (had to install VS R2 for now, but will get intells vPro cpu
later)
1) Add "AD DS" on the host.
2) Create a VHD for the Win2008 Webserver and add it to the domain.

Other computers:
Just add them to the domain.

I just want a simple domain w/a production server for my customers and
that's it....

Thanks for your feed back!...

You really don't want to put a DC directly on the Internet. Perhaps you can
help us understand why (you think) you need a Domain Controller?

Re: Creating a basic domain?....

DC willn't be accessed from the internet, just VHD. port 80 will be
directed to the VHD including SSL by my Router, all other ports will remain
closed.

DC is for future growth of the company, so I want to create the domain
environment now instead of wating later..
