I did not read that warning. It's not really an option. There are no
Windows servers and only one computer that stays on. The only other
computer that could possibly be a server is my work computer so that can't
happen. All the rest are laptops with limited space. I guess I could spin
up a vm on the DC but that doesn't seem like it would be
"beneficial".
