I have had a request from our Network Admin as to "what is the minimum level of Active Directory required for SQL 2012?"Note that I am not asking for the minimum Windows Server level that SQL Server 2012 is installed on, but rather the minimum level for the network's Domain Controller.
Fal.
The AD domain level dictates which computers can act as DCs and provide extra security functionality, since you'll likely be on Windows 2008 by now Windows 2008 domain\forest functionality would make most sense.
