installing horizon connection server best practice

Hello fellow members,

i know this question might be a bit a bit stupid and i predict to get a lot of  rtfm answers.

I am just looking for an advise for a best practice

During the installation of  horizon connection server on to windows 2012 R2 server

when installing onto a plain windows server that has not AD  i get "this computer is not member of domain" message

when i install AD on Windows 2012 i get "this product can't be installed on a domain controller"

i assume the windows server running horizon connection server should be a member of  AD controlled by another windows server ?

thx in advanced

Hi, the VMware Horizon Connection server role cannot be installed on a Windows domain controller.  The VMware Horizon View connection server must be installed on a domain joined virtual server.
