You'd preferably would like to set it up as a member server. The less services running on an Exchange server the better. Exchange utilizes a lot of resources. I would think everyone would agree with that.

Hi, Can some of you give me some advice whether or not to setup an Exchange 2000 server as a DC? We are building up a totally new forest consisting of a single domain and containing one Ex2000 machine. Sofar we have the following arguments: An argument for NOT making the Ex2000 machine a DC is that in case of disaster recovery the machine is easier to be recovered. An argument for making it a DC is that the helpdesk can manage mailboxes by connecting via whatever DC.
