Should I make Exchange a DC? DNS? 1

[nerdcore]

A couple quick questions. I am moving email hosting in-house for a client. They have two Windows 2000 Domain Controllers currently. The new server is 2003 with Exchange 2003. Questions:

- Should I make this server a Domain Controller?

- Does exchange still automatically add a mailbox and email addresses to a new Active Directory user if it is not a DC?

- Is there any reason I should NOT install DNS on the new Exchange box (they currently only have 1 internal DNS server)?

Thanks in advance!!!

No.
Yes.
Yes. If you already have DNS, you don't need a second one. But set DNS as AD integrated and put it on both DCs.
