Andrew, the term for a server with "AD itself" is a Domain Controller, or
DC. This is what was unclear in your response.

Hi Mike,
I was referring to installing Exchange on AD itself, not on a network
running AD, this a big difference. I know when you install Exchange on
the AD itself that a few system policies which are outlined for
administrators are changed so that everyone has access to them, which in
itself is a security problem.
Running Exchange on a Standalone box attached to the AD like you would
normally attach any workstation is the only way to go, do not dcpromo
the Exchange server!
Good luck
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for your feedback, the Exchange server will be a separate
physical
server, not the same one as that running the AD or GC. Does that
address
the issue you raised?
As for not installing Exchange 2k3 on a AD for security reasons, I did
not
know there was a way to run Exchange without AD - is it not a basic
requirement for Exchange 2003 that it be installed within an Active
Directory with a Domain Controller and Global Catalog somewhere on the
network?
best regards
Mike
