While the AD DC is running our full file server, and can act quite well
as a file server, we suggest that organisations run a distinct file
server to allow upgrades of each without disrupting the other.  We also
suggest that many medium-sized sites will want more than one AD DC, and
so it makes sense to have the DCs distinct to any file servers that may
use the DCs. 

Finally, it avoids many of the issues around the winbindd internal to
the AD DC.
