1) It doesn't. The scenario associated with doing disaster recovery of
an SBS server is horrific (IMO - obviously, it works, but I hope you've
practiced it before you have to do it the first time!).
2) You have to move Exchange services to another server, deinstall
Exchange, demote the server, reinstall Exchange, move Exchange services
back to the first server. This is the only supported mechanism.
That being said - some things will still break, I think. I'm considering
specifically the situation of an enterprise CA being installed on that
box too.

Hi,
I have seen a lot of posts that recommend not placing an Exchange server
on a DC.
I have a coupel of questions here:
1. How does SBS get around the problems that everyone mentions?
2. To resolve some of these conflicting issues will a demotion of the DC
server that Exchange is hosted on be enough? OR would we need to go
through a whole uninstall/reinstall of Win2K3 and Exchange 2K3?
Thanks for any thoughts,
Adrian
