All:

I have some VMs that with SQL Server that were built as stand-alone servers a few years ago for my own self-directed training. After buying some more powerful hardware I've created an AD Domain on VMs to practice functionality that requires separate servers interacting using Domain Security.

My question is: if a server joins a Domain a significant amount of some time AFTER SQL Server (2008, 2008 R2 and 2012) is installed, can MSSQL utilize interactive functions (replication, mirroring, etc.) with other servers on the Domain with the same level of functionality as instances that were installed after the server joined on the Domain?

Thanks.
