Windows 2000 Web server setup

[James]

Hello. I have a Windows 2000 server which will be
functioning as a Web server. I also need to run Exchange
2003 on it for emails. Can someone give me an idea as to
what is the best route to take to set the server up with
Exchange included? Thank you.

Exchange 2003 will not work on Windows 2000.

You mean I cannot set it up on Windows 2000?

Yes it will.

It's Exchange 2000 running on Windows Server 2003 that is not supported.

Have you considered SBS?

to do this you need a 2000 domain.....now you web server will be a DC....not
secure practice. EXACTLY what are you trying to accomplish with EVERYTHING
b/c we are just getting snippet and I think you aren't thinking everythign
out all the way.

Mark, thanks for the reply. Originally I had the server
run as a standalone, on a different subnet than the DC.
What happened was that I was asked to install exchange
2003 for emails. I figured I had to make it at the very
least a Domain Member to be able to run Exchange on it. I
didn't like the idea, foe security reasons. If anyone
hacked it, then it would not be difficult to hack the rest
of the domain. So what I was wondering was: would it be
better to have exchange in a totally different server, or
go ahead with making the web sever a domain member like I
was thinking. I don't want Exchange on the DC since it
functions as my production server and runs nothing else,
but the Database and authenticates user logins

Thanks and happy new year
