Why is it NOT recommended to install Exchange Server 2003 on a computer that is also a Domain Controller?
There are a few issues you should be aware of before installing Exchange Server 2003 on a computer that is also configured as a Domain Controller.
It may take approximately 10 minutes for the server to shutdown. This is because the AD service (LSASS.EXE) shuts down before the Exchange services, and DSAccess will go through several timeouts before shutting down. The workaround for this issue is to manually stop the Exchange services (specifically the Store) before initiating a system shutdown or restart.
