For a project we only have one Windows Server available. We need to run both a TS (Terminal Server) with RDP and ADDS on this server. I have asked this question and got the answer that if we don't want a TS and DC on the same server, Hyper-V would be the solution. I have of course thought about this, however the Windows Server is running as a VPS and therefore using Hyper-V is not possible.
Therefore, I am wondering if running a TS and using the server as a DC at the same time would be a really bad idea. It's clear that Microsoft doesn't recommend it, but it's possible and therefore I have the idea that a lot of people think it is a security risk but not that big of a security risk. Is it?
About 5 to 10 users will have access to the server.
