Active Directory Domain Controllers using Virtual Servers

Hi,

I want to place a new SAP landscape in a child domain of the Active Directory forest. Due to an ordering error I am short two servers.

Basically I am thinking about installing a virtual server on each of the development servers and using the virtual server installation to run as Active Directory Domain controllers.

I know SAP do not recommend using SAP servers to be used as domain controllers, but as these are separate servers with their defined resources, it should not be a factor if the servers are sized with enough spare capacity.

Can anyone think of any other major issues that would cause me an further issues.

TIA

should be no problem, but please don't try to put the host-operating system in the domain for which their own guests will provide the domain controlers.
