Take the 2-minute tour ×  According to this guide   RDP host
server should NOT be the domain controller.  How then can this
be set up using ONE machine? (not including the clients)  I'm
new to server stuff and just learning as I go.  share|improve

set them up on the same operating system. You don't want anyone
to have access to a domain controller other than trusted systems
administrators. Ever.  If you really must use a single piece of
hardware, what you should do is use some virtualization software
to separate the roles into two separate server installs that run
simultaneously, but are logically separate. Hyper-V Server or
ESXi are the two largest players in the server virtualization
market. I'd recommend one of them.  share|improve this answer
Unfortunately I really must use a single piece of hardware. How
does this relate to the Hyper-V Role that can be installed in
Server Manager? And can you point me in the direction of any
good guides or so
