Active Directory Question

[Greg]

We currently have 1 Windows 2000 Server running Active
Directory.

We are going to be installing a new Windows 2003 Server
with Exchange 2003 installed on it.

Do i have to install active directory on the new Windows
2003 Server?? If so do i configure it like i did on the
Windows 2000 Server??

Both Servers will be in the same domain.

Thanks,
Greg

Greg-

You do not need to make the Exchange box a domain controller. I would not
recommend it, in fact.

Keep in mind though that with only one DC, if that DC goes down, Exchange
stops working, logon traffic stops working ...

Can i make the Exchange Server a Member Server in the
Domain?? Would that be best??

Yes. That is what you need to do.
