Hi Everyone,

A question for the DC gurus here.

What is the best practice for domain controllers when it gets to physical vs virtual?

We have 20K users, 30K devices. CPU wise the DCs are being hammered daily. At the moment that are virtual. We’ve added additional resources, but they are absorbed and hammered.

Question is, WTH is the best practice for such DCs? should the domain controllers be physical servers with EPYC 128 cores CPUs, or virtual with 40+ vCPUs?

Thanks for all and any helpful answers!

Edited: meant WTH and not WTF. Sorry
