Hello everyone!
I’m looking to set up Active Directory at home along with RHEL IDM, but I only have one available Dell R710 for this purpose. My plan is to install XCP-NG on the Dell R710, accompanied by a small VM running Xen Orchestra Community Edition for management. Additionally, I intend to create two main VMs: one with Windows Server for Active Directory and a second one with Linux running RHEL IDM.
My primary concern revolves around the CPU and whether it will be sufficient to run this setup. The Windows Server will also serve as the DHCP and DNS server for my network, which includes multiple VLANs.
For home use (=1-2 concurrent users at most) you can run ad server + DNS + DHCP on an atom d510 with 1 gb of ram (need an override command to install win server core with 1 gb of RAM), dual xeons even if a decade old it’s overkill
Or samba 4 ad on rpi 1 with 256mb ram
