I've had no problems running it, but setting it initially up was another
story:

Our server is also running Active Directory, and although there were no
issues installing PHP, any PHP scripts would give 403 (Forbidden) error
messages. Took a while to figure out, since there was no indication that AD
was the problem (all of the user perms seemed ok). The resolution
(http://www.php.net/manual/en/install.windows.iis.php#41722) is 1. give
IIS_WPG read+execute perms on the PHP dir and 2. set your application
pool(s) to "Configurable: IWAM_*" (the IWAM user is in the IIS_WPG group).

Of course, if you aren't running AD, then installation is pretty easy if you
can follow instructions.
