    Yes, I'm quoting below page 11 of the planning guide:

    The computer on which Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 is running must be a domain member in a domain that is running in one of the following Active Directory directory service domain modes:

    • Windows 2000 Mixed
    • Windows 2000 Native
    • Windows Server 2003 Interim
    • Windows Server 2003 Native
    • Windows Server 2008 Interim
    • Windows Server 2008 Native

    Important

    • The computer on which Microsoft Dynamics CRM is running cannot function as an Active Directory domain controller, unless it is running Windows Small Business Server 2008.
    • When you install Microsoft Dynamics CRM in a Windows 2000 Mixed-mode domain, you cannot add users to Microsoft Dynamics CRM that are located in a different domain.
    • Installing Microsoft Dynamics CRM Server 2011 in a domain that is running in Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) is not supported.

    Hi Rash,

    Windows Small Business Server 2008 Standard x64 will work. And there will be no issues.

    The only issue will be you cannot use Network service as identity to run CRM and SQL services.
