I have Exchange Server 5.5 SP4 running on a PDC and I don't want to change that config at all.

I am installing NT4 Server on another PC so that I can install OWA on it and I don't know what kind of NT4 Server it should be.
PDC,
BDC
or
Stand Alone??

Does anyone know???

I would recommend a BDC. The reason for it is to ease up on your authentication when your users login over the web. Hope this Helps

M$ recommends installing on a stand-alone as the resources that Exchange uses is very high, but for easy use, I too recommend BDC. We have ours on a BDC, and only when the PDC is offline do we see a real problem with the mail (30 users per Exchange server) and 50+ clients autheticating per server.
