Windows 2008 domain controller on the same square as field PC during startup? It work?

I'm not much of a type of network, or windows 2008 Server Administrator and I would appreciate really any impressions that those of you who have more experience could offer.

I expect to build a box of ESXi soon to help with my learning curve. I don't have a domain to my office at home now, but need to put in place (also the learning curve. It would be ideal that I have has no need to keep a windows 2008 running DC all the time, as they are in most workplaces. I was wondering if I install the domain controller and windows domain members 7 as vms on ESXi, the domain controller will be functional when starting up fast enough to be available to the virtual machines of windows 7 domain? I expect to turn off the machine when I'm not going to use it for say 3 hours. With my own pc I got it put "standby mode" a lot to save juice.

But without expertise in windows 2008 as a controller with ESXi or field, it is hard for me to project if this type of plan will work, or if it will fall flat on its face. I'm having problems with the virtual machines windows 7 if the domain controller is hosted on the same instance of ESXi?

That works perfectly.  Just make sure that once that ESXi is to start the virtual machine DC first and give him a few minutes to go before starting your Windows 7 virtual machine.
