How bad is it of an idea to run Active Directory on a server without ECC ram? Boss wants AD, but refuses to budget a server - even a refurb is too much. I have old-ish used (10th-11th gen intel) machines from end user machines.Fortunately I have enough new drives.Is replication on two machines enough?

>>109401899t. malding neetit's comfy outside of pinching pennies desu
>>109402163>Boss wants>Won't supply or fund>Anon>"Maybe if I spend MY money and MY resources on>this I'll be a good boy! My boss will reward me">Boss chuckles in the background >"The cuck, cucks himself"Like I said. Get a new job. I'm only trying to help...
>>109402403Pretty sure those used "end-user machines" are company computers that other employees used, not OP's personal property...
>>109402403first of all, you don't know me nor my situation.i'm not putting in any of my money and i'm getting paid monthly retardeverything i've listed is what the company owns and I have in storage.are you going to engage with the questions in the thread? i'm not going to entertain your sideshow any further
>>109401799Who fucking cares? Unless this server is on the space station or the 10km off from seafloor, it probably doesn't matter that much and at worse you have a few bits corrupted.
>>109402431>>109402469That's right, I don't. We can only go off of the poor information you provided in the initial post.Again, you Boss won't fund a "Server". Hmmm let's use an old Desktop. This reeks of desperation and poverty.

>>109401799Why would AD require ECC lmao we have live ADDCs running windows server 2003 on period accurate hardware
>>109401799As long as you have it in an email that your boss explicitly refuses to pay for the appropriate hardware, and more importantly, instructs you to use inappropriate hardware, just do as he asks. As long as you made him aware (on record) of the potential consequences, it was his choice, so it's his fault.
>>109401799why are you asking 4chanyour boss told you to build an AD server without ECC. do your job
