Sure, and security. It isn't mandatory that a DC have no other purpose. It's
just *recommended* - and also that you have more than one. Real world
scenarios vary widely.

I can't answer that for you with the limited information provided, sorry.
You'd have to provide a lot more detail about your configuration (existing
or planned) in order for anyone to guess.

Also - please don't snip out all the quoted text in your replies; it makes
it impossible for others to follow the thread. Thanks.

I plan to put in a unique server the followin:

1. SQL Server 2000
2. Domain server, 100 users, active directory.
3. A CRM software that use sql server (GOLDMINE)

The server has:
1 Quad core xeon processor
8 GB RAM
windows 2003 server

You definitely need more than one server here. You'll need x64 or W2003
Enterprise to take advantage of all that RAM . I'm not a SQL guru so I can't
say whether or not the processor will be sufficient.

What about file/print? One presumes you'll have that need, too. Ideally,
you'd have two DCs, one SQL/CRM box (member server), and one file/print
(member server). However, your file/print services *could* be a DC as
well....you just need to have two DCs. And one of them can be on low-end
hardware.

So that's either three or four servers, and you could likely get away with
three.
