Scenario 1. Plesk server attached to the Domain Controller (Supported)
Every Plesk server attached to Domain Controller is a standalone instance, and it stores nothing inside Domain Controller. All Plesk users are external for server itself, and Domain Controller used only for centralized management of servers.
Having Domain Controller on a separate server and Plesk Server attached to it was tested and considered to be a supported one.
Scenario 2. Plesk and Domain Controller on the same server (Not supported)
Having Domain Controller and Plesk on the same server was not tested and is not supported.
