Azure AD Connect on a DC
Hi Glenn,
In my opinion, the recommended installation is always in a separate server regarding to isolate points of failure.
In past time e.g.. Dirsync it was not supported but Microsoft has expanded the support on installation on servers with other roles using Express Instalation.
If you install AD Connect on a DC or other machine with other products, it would be harder to understand a problem if occurs in your environment either the problem is on the DC role or AD Connect.
Hi Glenn,
The Express setting is by default and the custom you have the options on the below link https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory/connect/active-directory-aadconnect-get-started-custom
Regarding the SQL, location, and others.
Yes, you can unckeck the initial sync and than change the OU's.
