Firstly, it is a 'DC' not a 'PDC', there really is no concept of
a
Primary Domain Controller in active directory, other than one of the 
FSMO roles. These FSMO roles are the only differences between DCs , 
other than this, all DCs are the same (or should)

You do not join a DC to the domain unless it is a second (or subsequent) 
DC, when you provision a DC or classicupgrade a PDC, it is automatically 
joined to the domain.

It is not recommended, but you can do it, there are plenty of people who 
post on here who do use a DC as a fileserver.

Just how many clients do you have and what sort ?

Thanks for the clarification.
 
They are around 80 clients.
All windows 7 and Xp pro.

One member server linux  with Debian 7 for testing the future file server. All
on this works fine.

Other servers that are not in the domain

Thanks.
