NT Servers As Workstations?

Given NT's propensity to die depending on what you are doing with it, it
really depends on what kind of user is on the machine you want to perform
dual duty (and, of course, the traffic that is on it).

I have an NT server that serves web, live database apps w/Cold Fusion and a
small listserv... I would never dream of doing work directly on that
machine. But I am the kind of user who kills my own NT workstation with
great regularity. If you don't, then it might be ok to double up as a domain
controller..

I would never recommend doubling up on a machine that is serving live
content if you can avoid it in any way...
