mdrabble Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 I need to install VMM on a physical server - can I install VMM on a Domain Controller? I know it is not really recommended but I am short on Physical servers. Cheers Mark
mdrabble Posted July 28, 2015 Author Posted July 28, 2015 Creating new HyperV cluster and advised better if physical so can create cluster using VMM etc
Steve21 Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 Couldn't you just create a VM of VMM on standalone and join them? But unless it's changed you can install VMM on a DC as long as it's a DC before VMM installed etc. e..g not promoting VMM Steve
IanT Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 We've got quite a few SCVMM 2012 R2 VM's running with no issues.
mdrabble Posted July 28, 2015 Author Posted July 28, 2015 Thanks @Steve21 [emoji3]. Server already a DC so should be ok then. Thanks
IanT Posted July 28, 2015 Posted July 28, 2015 A quick Q&A on SCVMM and domain controllers - The Official System Center Virtual Machine Manager Team Blog - Site Home - TechNet Blogs It is NOT RECOMMENDED to install VMM on a domain controller. Computers functioning as domain controllers should be reserved for domain administrative functions.
