The Exch2k server does not need to be a DC. To be a Global Catalog server a server needs to be a DC though, so you'll need to make one of your other machines a GC server (the first one you made a DC already is one) as Exchange needs the GC available.

Can this be done or do I have to install AD on this server to install E2K?
