Don't install Exchange on a Domain Controller, even you Michael B. Smith

This article was previously published under
Q994678345
In a Windows 2000
domain some people like to install Exchange on a
Domain Controller. They also like to use them for file and print as well or for
other not authentication/authorization services. They sometimes find they run
into security and/or stability issues.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs typically
occurs when because they installed products
on a domain controller which is supposed to be the bastion of your enterprise
security, not handling menial services such as exchange and file sharing et
alii.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this
problem, remove the non
authentication/authorization related services from the domain
controller.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that
this is a problem in the real world.
This problem was first corrected when people
started treating the DCs like a KDC and not a regular
server.
APPLIES TO
All versions
of Windows that run as Domain Controllers

Subject: [ActiveDir] FW: Exchange 2003 on DC
I've run across a
couple of KB articles regarding the issues of promoting/demoting a DC under
Exchange 2003 (on the same box). Shame on me, I didn't bookmark
them.
Does anyone have
those handy? My google-fu is not up-to-par today apparently...the one's I've
found (plus summary) are:
822179 - don't
change DC status after Exchange is installed
305504 - impact of
making DC a GC with Exchange installed
305065 - impact of
removing a GC from a DC with Exchange installed
829361 - long shut
down time on a DC when Exchange is installed
822575 - DS2MB stops
running when DC status is removed and Exchange is installed
The only one I've
found that directly affects the search I'm on is the last
(822575).
Thanks,
M
