Chris, Your right. I always thought Exchange 5.5 on a BDC wasn't an issue and that was a personal choice. As long as your whole backup strategy was sound. But people liked to debate on that, as witnessed on this list about 3 years ago. But exchange 2000 on a domain controller especially if it has the five roles of destiny; makes life interesting and NTDSUTIL takes on a whole new meaning. I prefer the member server approach in that instance.
