You can install exchange on any DC but installing exchange on DC is not advisble by Microsoft.Anil http://messagingschool.wordpress.com

In general installing Exchange (application) on domain controller is not recommended, neither a good idea, however, If this is your LAB , I don’t see any problem you can do it. Here is an article may help you to understand why it is not a good idea installing anything on Domain controllers. Remember DC’s do have their own ADDS database and they have pretty busy purpose their own, installing Exchange on Domain controller makes everything very complicated. http://smtp25.blogspot.com/2009/08/exchange-2007-installed-on-domain.html Oz Casey, Dedeal, Microsoft MVP - Exchange Server, MCITP (EMA), MCITP (EA), MCITP (SA) Visit smtp25.blogspot.com Visit Telnet25.wordpress.com This posting is provided AS-IS with no warranties or guarantees and confers no rights.
