Are there any issues running Terminal Services on a Win2000 server that will be running Exchange 2000? The applications will be Microsoft Office 2000 or XP (including Outlook email client). There are 50 users that I would anticipate using the system rather lightly.

One issue is that Exchange 2000 uses up all the available memory and is supposed to dynamically releases it as needed.

You will need atleast 512mb of memory for exchange. 256 for the OS. 40 Megs per connected Terminal user, 40megsx50users=2gigsMemory. You'll need a dual processor, as exchange alone takes up plenty of processing.

I wouldn't do all this on one box. If you have that many users, you should have a budget to allow for two servers.
