Feb 28, 2021 at 17:05 comment added geardogg @LPChip, I don't honestly know all the file sharing ports or vulnerabilities this might enable. I base my previous statement on what I've read. It always seems to be advised that you keep your DC a DC and nothing else. I take that thinking to be keeping the heart of your domain safe. I do appreciate your thinking, but I'm hoping to not have to make each of my host clone standbys in the DFS replication group a DC also.

Feb 27, 2021 at 21:37 comment added LPChip What exactly is the hole you open if you move files from one server to another, set shares and alter GPO to use the new location instead of the old? Unless of course you have a weird rights structure with specific rights 4 levels deep into the file structure. We keep permissions on the share and at best one level down to keep it manageable.
Feb 27, 2021 at 17:08 comment added geardogg @ LPChip I'm tempted, but best practice is to not clutter/open holes in DC. Trying to keep it clean and segregated so hoping for another way.
