Do we need SQL server for GPOAdmin? (4371915)

Do we need SQL server for GPOAdmin?

We are building the server to host GPOAdmin.
Do we need SQL server installed?

If you decide to go with SQL server as configuration store you will need to install a SQL server to host the GPOAdmin database you can also use AD/LDS that use to be the preferred method but nowadays we advise to use SQL specially in large environments 

 Quest uses the following criteria to define large environments:
•Domains with more than 500 registered objects that run searches on a regular basis.
•More than 500 registered containers.
•Containers with objects nested more than 3 levels deep.

These are guidelines and should not be considered as an exhaustive list.
