SQL 2K ON SAME BOX AS AD2k/2k3, PROS & CONS?

[osjohnm]

Hi all

I'm trying to determine what the pros and cons of having sql installed on the same machine as AD are. The server will actuall be the BDC(as it used to be called before AD came along),which will be the new dataserver of our company.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

Thanks

John

You generaly dont want anything else on the database server due to the possible preformance impact, espeically if all the company databases are on one box.
