General Installation Question

Are there any issues or reasons why you would not want to install Backup Exec 10.1 on a windows 2003 domain controller server? Does BE have any problems with this? Should we install on a non-domain controller server? Does it work any better / worse etc?

thanks
Jason

I didnt find anything telling you not to install in a DC.
I prefer using different servers for different purposes, whenever it's possible.

Every maintenance at backup server (for installing media, drivers, etc) will affect domain controllers operations.

As I said before... it's my way to work... but there are other things to have in mind, as hardware availability (budget!).
