First question: Why do you want to willing put other services on ISA server, which is a firewall? You should only put what you have to on there for security and performance. Second question: Are you aware the Exchange needs resources? Therefore, unless you have too, it should be on its on box. Third question: An AD server, even if not using extra roles, does do a far amount of work. Why do you want this server to be a domain controller? Otherwise: How much mail traffic? How much storage space do you need for mail?
