I wasn't going to comment, and probably shouldn't but its Friday so what
the hey.

What I don't understand is, WHY you need to run IIS on a DC, is it that
hard or costly to setup a non-DC Web Server?. What plausible reason
other than costs would you have for setting up a web server from a
company with a history of prolific web server holes (Remember Unicode
Directory Traversal?, Default.ida ??? Anyone?) on the same server you
rely on for Domain operations. I just don't get it. 

So here's number two.

DO NOT RUN IIS ON W2K3 DC's

Joe,

Here, I'll do this to help...

DO NOT RUN IIS ON W2K3 DCs.

Take that to your customer. 

If you need reasoning, then consider this...anytime you add new
functionality (ie, a web server) to a system, you increase the attack
surface and the management overhead.
