Load is one thing, recovery is the other. It's harder to recover Exchange
on a domain controller. That may or may not be a substantial problem
depending on the domain topology.

There is nothing specifically "bad" about Exchange on a BDC. It depends on
the load more than anything. If it were PDC, then that might be an issue
since it slightly complicates the recovery process if the machine needs to
be replaced.
The one-site vs. many sites question is much harder to answer, you need to
determine reliability of the T1, bandwidth utilization, user class (high med
low etc.) and lots of other little things that can't really be answered in
an e-mail.
If you decide to put it on the WINS server, watch out for Jet errors from
the WINS engine that might be confused with the Exchange Store in the event
log.

At each of the 7 branch offices their are 60 users, here is what I am
thinking of:
- At each branch office a BDC for the domain/NT4sp6/Exchange 5.5 sp4
- All branch office are connected to corporate by full t-1's
My questions are the following:
-I have read that putting exchange on domain controllers is bad, in large
sites, but mine is relativly small, at each site I only have 2 available
servers 1 for BDC, 1 for either file print server/exchange or possible wins
and file server what do you think is best??
- Even though the connections between sites are fairly fast, should I still
make each branch office its own site??? or should they all be in the same
site ? what are pros and cons of both, I have set up site connectors a few
times and have fairly decent success with them, but not with this many .. so
I would like to hear others opinions on this, of all the exchange books I
have read they recomend only intersite replication on fast lan technologies,
they recomend seperate sites across wan links so you can more accuratly
control replication....
- best method to set up Name Resolution, I have heard Exchange on DC is bad,
but some people say it speeds up name resolution since exchange uses NTs
directory for authentication, so should I put it on a BDC at each branch
since each is relativly small or should I put a WINS server at each location
and set up replication, my thoughts is that with 8 wins servers it will be
come high maintenance... Thanks for your time..

*** WARNING - THIS MESSAGE ORIGINATES FROM THE INTERNET ***
I am looking for a good document or advice on how to set up the following
mail routing setup and any issues that anyone may have seen:
I have 7 Branch offices, all connected by full t1 connections to the
Corporate office, the only internet connection is through Corporates t1 out
to the internet.... Currently we are running groupwise 5.5 for all
messaging, and I have just implemented exchange 5.5sp3 on NT4/sp6 running
the groupwise/exchange connector on exchange (man what a pain) and on
Groupwise the Mail gateway NLM API..... So now I have all of my Groupwise
mailboxes synced to exchange 5.5 as Custom recipients,,, this is where I
need advice at... I have to join an existing Exchange Organization and route
all mail for company.com to the exchange servers running smtp at corporate,
so I need advice/docs on how to set up smtp routing from multiple branch
offices up to the corporate servers who actually have the internet
connection.... I have the migration stuff licked my users can log onto
either grouwise or exchange and see each other and send mail, but it is now
time to remove groupwise, and set up the smtp from my branch offices to the
corporate smtp servers for outside mail via exchange.. Thanks IA
