I
would think that the connectivity enhancements for E2k3 would outweigh the AD
enhancements in Win2k3 for Exchange server placement.
IIRC,
you said you're running multiple remote sites with <100 users each. Depending
on the load those users put on Exchange, I could see that being either handled
by a front end/back end pair, with only the front end in their site, or just
leveraging the Outlook 2k3 caching mode and not bother with the front end.
I
agree though that fewer Exchange servers should be possible, but I'd let
Exchange drive the GC placement more than I'd let GCs drive Exchange placement.
