I'm interested in some of the features of MS Home Server but I already run a
domain at home. If I install it on one of my machines, will it play nicely
with the DC and other domain machines?
 
Regarding "...I already run a domain at home...." - to have a "domain"
requires a Server OS such as Windows Server 2003.
Main feature of Home Server is it's backup ability, "data storage" and
treating multiple HDs as one. It is functional within a peer-to-peer
(Workgroup) environment.
It can not provide the "roles" of a standard Server such as Active
Directory, File Server, Application Server and so forth.

Yes, and?

All of which would be useful in a domain environment too.

But is it also functional in a domain environment?

That wasn't the question -- The question is, can it participate in a
domain?
 
Thanks. I'll ask over there. I could not find any community links from the
MS WHS info pages. :(
