I've been running my own Windows domain including smtp/pop3/imap/vss/svn/http services for better than a decade, and frankly, things have never run better.  If you want to know how I do it read on...

My intent is to share the technology stack I am currently running on my Windows server.  I have been running some form of Windows domain since I began with Windows NT 4.0 some time last century.  I migrated to Samba on a Debian powered Macintosh for a few years, then migrated to Active Directory on Windows 2000.  Presently I run Windows 2003 x64 Standard Edition R2.
