I have had production and development servers on BDCs and PDCs for three
years with no problem at all - BUT - the Remedy servers have their own
domain that only I (and they) log in to. I do NOT currently intend to mix
Remedy and Active Directory, however; after several months of observing the
level of activity on my three Win2K AD servers, I will put Remedy on Win2K
member servers only. I suspect that you are being warned against putting
Remedy on a domain controller that has a production user authentication
load, and I would not recommend that either.
In my experience the determining factor on server naming for imported
definitions has been how you log in to the admin tool (and how you installed
Remedy in the first place)! We have always used the FQDN (fully qualified
domain name) here due to long-standing problems with the UNIX-based static
naming services still in use on our campus, and always enter the FQDN during
installations, imports, administration, and everyday use. Consistent use of
the FQDN has consistently kept us out of trouble here, although I know
others have tried to operate totally on the short name. I could be
completely mistaken on the mechanics of this, but we have yet to see server
name as a problem for our Windows, Solaris, ARWeb, or RemedyWeb clients.
