Important:
•Microsoft does not recommend installing SQL Server on a Domain Controller.
•Installing pVault® on a Domain Controller is not recommended.
•SQL Server Express can be used; however, it restricts the size of the pVault database to 10 GB maximum/1 GB cache and does not equal the performance of SQL Server Standard.
