Maybe you could request a relatively small server and move SQL to it and then move Exchange to the old SQL box.

This whole discussion arouse when I put together a request for a new Exchange server. I don't think I am going to be able to win the argument to keep them separate. The SQL server was overkill to begin with now I'm going to have to live with SQL and Exchange on one box. I was looking for known software related issues that might help me with my argument but I couldn't find any.
