Turning your Windows Home Server in to a Domain Server
I have just seen a really interesting post over at jesseweb.com that explains how to turn your Windows Home Server into a Domain Controller. This looks really good but there are a lot of unknowns with this such as how roaming profiles will work with this whether they will even work at all and will you even be able to see the Users and Computers console. What effect will this have on things like the drive extender and this is certainly not something to be tried on a working Windows Home Server and is only for the IT savvy of us all.
I will be interested to see more about this and what this could do for your Windows Home Server in general, the obvious thing to remember is you would only be able to take full advantage of a domain with XP Pro, Vista Business and Vista Ultimate as these are the only OS’s with this capability.

The directions in that article are pretty sparse. I’d go with these directions if you want to try something like this.

Not really news I think. Main problem this is big time violation of the current EULA
