Question : Window server 2008 or router to run DHCP and DNS

I am installing a windows server 2008 and a Fortinet 60 router. I have 1 question as to which should use the router or the server. What is the best policy.
Thank you.

Answer : Window server 2008 or router to run DHCP and DNS


Use the server to run both roles. I keep DNS and DHCP off of routers as much as possible, because it isn't as easy to control there and just causes confusion.

If you will be promoting the 2008 machine as a Domain Controller, you *must* make the 2008 machine a DC and have all workstations use it as their DNS server.
