Providing you can do this and someone else will have to clarify it.
Install Win2k3 Standard Server on another box, and join it to your SBS
like you join your workstation (do not run DCPROMO), then install
Exchange as Microsoft recommends.
In your ESM you will see there is a primary Exchange box which is
currently your SBS machine, so simply move all the mail boxes over to
your new box, and make it the primary box. Then uninstall Exchange off
your SBS machine, unless you want to have FE and BE Exchange boxes.

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
