It is recommended that you do not run an Internet Information Services (IIS) Web server on a domain controller. Domain controllers contain sensitive data such as user account information, and they should not be used in another role. If you run a Web server on a domain controller, you increase the complexity involved in securing the server and preventing attacks.
It is recommended that you run Web servers and domain controllers on separate, dedicated computers.
