This company has very small environment (currently 6 people) with one

to purchase one box with enough RAM and disk spaces. Install
exchange 2003 on it. and inside exchange 2003 server, create one
virtual server or virtual PC for secon domain controller. Any
suggestions or concerns?Should I create two virtual for exchange and
domain controller?
Thank you.
I'd reverse that, if I were going to do it at all. You could run Exchange in
a virtual server on your DC, though, if the box had sufficient firepower.
Personally, as decent server hardware isn't that expensive, and you'd have
to buy a license for Windows & Exchange anyway, I'd put it on two boxes.
I do also wonder why you aren't putting Exchange in your main office,
putting only a low-end server as a DC in the remote office, & having the
remote users connect to Exchange using RPC over HTTP . Even if the remote
office will have more users in it, it seems to make more sense to
consolidate your backups/etc in your company's headquarters. Perhaps I
misunderstand your setup.
