Any issues running a 2003 R2 64 bit DC alongside 2003 R2 32 bit DC's
We are running a 2003/2003 forest and domain function level environment. Currently all of our domain controllers are server 2003 R2 32 bit.
We have a very small office that will only have a DC present. Normally we would use a 32 bit OS for this but this server will also need to be a print server sharing 64 bit drivers.
Are there any issues with adding a 64 bit DC to environment? Any additional steps I need to be aware of or look out for?
Thanks

good point, yeah use adprep, in your case use it from disk 2 on the R2 set....have you thought about going to 2008 R2?

That is something we are looking to do in the future but currently some of our other systems dont support it yet. Mostly our older Cisco phone system.
