Has anyone had success with running 2 separate domains on one server 2019?

A single instance of windows domain controller can only be associated with one domain, but you can install hyper-v role only on host, then stand up two virtual machines. One for each domain controller in the separate domains.
Not clear what you're trying to do. Something here might help.

Dave Patrick Thanks for the reply and I know this is a confusing theory, I have a client that im setting up their Primary Domain who (as i have just found out) has 2 separate primary domains (No child domains) and they want both domain controllers to be running from the same Server 2019 install (Cost cutting)
Any ideas how I can run 2 parent domains from one server?

That's definitely the best solution, but the client doesn't want to pay for an additional server 2019 licence.
