My advice is not to install WSUS on any DC.
There is a Technet article which says that it is not recommended to install WSUS on a DC as the access permissions for the Windows Internal Database get changed and WSUS will not work.
I'm studying for an exam, so I installed WSUS on a standalone server which worked fine.
When I promoted it to be the first DC, new domain, new forest, then I could no longer connect to the WSUS server on the WSUS Admin Console.
As I use the Hyper V role with virtual servers, I am planning to setup a new Domain, new Forest and have it working then try to install WSUS to see what happens.
If I have time, prior to installing WSUS, I'll setup a 2nd DC and then install WDUS on it to see what happens... and then write in.
