Question : SCVMM 2008 Deployment

So I know that the RTM of SCVMM 2008 isn't expected until October 30th, but don't quote me on that. Anyways i'm trying to figure out if i install the scvmm 2008 and the admin console on the same computer would i also be able use it as a Host for the Virtual Machines or do I need to install the Host agent on a different computer to deploy Virtual Machines.

A side note the SCVMM 2008 will be installed on a HP ML350 G5 64x running Server 2008\Hyper-V

Thanks

Answer : SCVMM 2008 Deployment

For clarification:
If you plan on having the SCVMM server be a domain controller, you will need to install the domain controller role prior to installing SCVMM. The SCVMM server is not required to be a domain controller. I did this on my test system so that I could use one system and have a contained SCVMM environment.

This information is in the release notes on the following site: https://connect.microsoft.com/content/content.aspx?ContentID=8607&SiteID=580&wa=wsignin1.0

"Setup
I have installed VMM Server. Can I promote this server to a domain controller after the VMM installation?
No. You can install VMM on a domain controller computer but you cannot promote this server to a domain controller after the VMM installation because this causes VMM to not function properly."
