If you don't run them prior to the Exchange setup, they do run automatically in the background. That's probably why your Exchange install took such a long time. In larger forests where you have multiple domains/trees, it is a better idea to run forestprep and wait a while until schema changes are replicated to all DCs and then run domainprep and Exchange server setup.
