MSDE on a 2k Domain Controller

I have asked this before, but it was a while back and then the project got
put on hold, and I can't find the replies - sorry.
Is there any problems (operationally wise, or conflict wise) with putting
MSDE 2000 A on a Windows 2000 Server which is a domain controller (the
server also has Exchange 2000 and ISA 2000 installed on it)?
I can obviously restrict the memory it can use so that's not a problem, but
I wondered if it would create problems or serious performance issues for the
DC.
Also, if it is OK to install on a DC, is the installation straightforward or
are there any special switches or settings I should use? Or do I just do a
plain install as I would on any machine?
Thanks
Keith
Anyone?

Yes, you should be fine. One thing to consider is that your service account is now a domain account. I.e., a
potential security issue. (This is because a DC doesn't have any local accounts.)
