MSDE or SQL on a DC?

I am running a small shop where we have a dual XEON (1) 2003 Standard Server
serving as our DC, File & Print and DNS server. We have the opportunity to
upgrade to an application we currently use but it will require us to install
SQL 2000 or MSDE on this server. My question is this, can SQL 2000 or MSDE
exist on the same box?
Thanks - Sean
Yes. However, consider the performance and security aspects of this. As for security, I'm particularly
referring to the service account. Is the machine is a DC, the account is now a domain account...
