Are there non-DC KDCs in Active Directory?

Question

Each Active Directory domain controller acts as a KDC, AFAIK. But are there any cases when Active Directory could have a standalone KDC server? Is it even possible with Active Directory?

Nope. It's not separate service that you can install. It's embedded.
