Any comments on DCPROMO to promote domain controller on SQL Server?

We're planning to make our SQL server act as a passive domain controller
and are considering the use of DCPromo to accomplish this. Anybody have
comments regarding their experience changing the Domain Controller roles
on an active SQL server? We've all seen problems in the past monkeying
with core components on stable systems...
Thanks in advance.It is generally not recommende to put SQL on a domain controller ( because
of potential security issues and the DC is likely busy anyway.)
however, the thing that comes to mind is that when the box gets promoted to
a DC, the Domain Controller Security policy now applies to the machine in
addition to the local policies...
