I have exchange 2000 server installed on a DC. However, it is not installed on the Main Domain Controller. My question is, how bad is that? I was told that Microsoft says that that is a big no no. What is the actual requirements and what is the pro's and con's of installing it on a DC compared to installing it on a member server?

Found this reference on Technet:
"Windows 2000 Active Directory uses the standard LDAP Port 389 for access. By default, Exchange also uses this port. You must reassign the port for Exchange to grant LDAP access to its directory.

For more information, read Q224447, XADM: How to Change LDAP Port Assignments in Exchange Server on the Microsoft Product Support Services site"
