I wouldn't exactly say they discourage it - they sell Small Business Server that runs Exchange (and SQLServer, and ISA) on a domain controller.
If all you will have is one Exchange server, it's not a problem. You will see some strange errors in the event log periodically, but a little research will show that they are expected when everything is running on one server. -----Original Message----- From: Trevor Porter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, February 13, 2003 11:49 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Question: ES2k on a DC Hello All, Two questions in one ... I know that MS discourages the use of ES2k on a domain controller. Why is this? Load? Security? Other? Are there any good articles on this? Also, does anyone have any comments on the below config: I have (and will have) well under 100 mailboxes and am planning on using a Proliant DL380 G3 with 2x2.4 Xeons, 1 GB RAM and two RAID1 36 10k drives for the OS and the logs and three RAID5 36 10k drives for the information stores.
