RE: exchange on a DC

My .02 cents.  Take a P133 with 64 megs of RAM and turn it into a PDC.  Do not have the Exchange server be the PDC no matter how small the shop.

Which part, Michael? The one-button restore or the part about restoring exchange to a recovery server?

Backup Exec has this kind of feature. You can carry out a full "image" backup called a "One button DR", then when disaster strikes you can actually boot from the tape and restore the entire hard drive. If you are a one-server shop, you have to be careful about your domain SID when disaster strikes, although I have heard there is some utility somewhere ? that will allow you to restore your Exchange server to a recovery server even if the recovery server has a different name. Anyone have a line on this utility?

I believe that if Exchange is your only DC (it is the PDC) you are going to be hurtin for certain if you need to do a server recovery, unless you have backup software that lets you boot from a CD and restore the entire server as an single "image".

Same here as well. We consult/manage many 10-100 user shops which many only have 1 or 2 servers. Typically the second server is dedicated for SQL or TS as their 'app' server and the other server houses everything else, file and print, DC and exchange. Heck I have a 80 user server running raid1/raid5 with exchange and 16 port fax modems for fax blasting heh.. the box runs like a champ its only a dual 600 with 1gig ram

Actually it is done more often then not in the places I visit. Of course I visit a lot of 10-50 person shops running SBS or have only two servers. I do not know for sure but would be will to bet that more window2000AD/ exchange 2000 setup are running on the same box then not. I run AD on its own box and most people think see that as extravagant.

Sure it's "OK", it's not standard practice, but it's OK.  I don't always follow MS's directions either.  If it works in your environment, then cool. 
 
Personally, from the sounds of it, you have a multitude of servers at each site.  That said, I would have to wonder why you'd put exchange on a DC.  If I've got hardware to work with, I much prefer to put application servers on stand-alone servers.  Saves the resources for the applications instead.

But, you dont see an actual problem?
I know MS says to run them seperate, and I think that is only so you can say.. Im rebooting Exchange, and AD isnt affected..
but you have multiple DCs at each site, 1 being the mail server, you should be ok...right?

It wouldn't be my first choice, but I'd do it if I "had" to.

Anyone here see any problems with running Exchange 5.5 on an Active Directory Domain controller?
Ive been running 10 of them like that for a year with ZERO problems. I have a new guy who is complaining about us doing that.
