I'm not aware of best practices or specific problems. This setup is often used for testing

Now I am. :-)

"Installing Exchange 2007 on Directory Servers
For security and performance reasons, we recommend that you install Exchange 2007 only on member servers, and not on Active Directory directory servers. Although installing Exchange 2007 on a directory server is supported, it is strongly discouraged. However, you cannot run DCPromo on a computer running Exchange 2007. After Exchange 2007 is installed, changing its role from a member server to a directory server, or vice versa, is not supported.

If you install Exchange 2007 on a global catalog server, and if you restart the server, you may need to start the required Exchange services manually. For more information, see Knowledge Base article 940845, Exchange 2007 services cannot start automatically after you install Exchange 2007 on a global catalog server.
