Hi all,

We have a customer who needs only one server. I know that this is not best practice but can we run rds connection broker on a dc 2022?

Customer is accepting risk and won't pay for more than 1 server. Is it supported broker on a dc? I know that RDS 2012 cannot run broker on dc but how is the 2016 and above?

    and won't pay for more than 1 server

    The far better solution here may be to install the hyper-v role (as only role) on host then stand up virtual machines, one of active directory domain services and other VMs for other roles as required.
