It's all very well saying that you shouldn't run exchange on a DC and there
are obvious reasons why you shouldn't, however what it comes down to is a
matter of finance.  I work for a small company and we have to run Exchange
on the same box as the PDC simply because we do not have funds available to
buy a dedicated Exchange box.  In essence there is a big difference between
how IT infrastructure should be set up ideally and how it must be set up in
the real world.

rs on network.

Listers,

I know you're not supposed to put Exchange on a DC, complicates backup and
restore procedures in the event of disaster recovery.  However I am sure
that there are other reasons.  Can anyone recommend where I can find a list
of what these problems are.

Yes - I have someone who is running it on a PDC and I need to tell them why
not to.

Cheers

JJ

Subject:        IMS wont run - problem with Exchange or the Server?

Gents, I have a problem with our Exchange Server sp 5.5 on NT4.0 srv sp6a.

The microsoft exchange internet mail service won't run.  The error message
in the event log is...

The registry checkpoint for cluster resource Microsoft Exchange Internet
Mail Service could not be restored to registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchangeIMC. The
resource may not function correctly. Make sure that no other processes have
open handles to registry keys in this registry subtree. event id 1024.

I also get another error message appear onscreen when i try and bring the 
internet mail service online, its

Store.exe error
The instruction at "0x70247270" referenced memory at "0x000000014".  The
memory could not be "read".

This error message also appeared a few times when i tried to login to
hotmail on internet explorer on the server.  When i clicked on ok it closed
the browser.
This might suggest that the problem is with the server and not just with the
exchange services.
I've checked the disk space, tried stopping and restarting all the different
services, rebooted the server, checked for any signs of viruses on the
servers (eg code red variations as our servers do not have antivirus
software on them - no sign of any viruses).

I've already looked around on technet for hours and cannot find much on this
error at all.

Any assistance on this one would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,

James Johnston
