ADS and Exchange on the same server
A recent IT audit complains that my Exchange 2003 and ADS are on the same server. For an SMB with under 100 employees, I would like your comments on adding an ADS server.
Thanks

nope, not at all, like i said,, that is exacly what an SBS server is.
"Are there security holes by running them on the same box?"
As far as I know, only in the sense that you get a "sum" of vulnerabilities in the two products. Whenever you have an additional product, like Exchange, on a server, you get a slightly increased potential that some vulnerability in Exchange could be exploited.
But there is no "multiplier" effect, to my knowledge.
A good backup plan can't hurt, of course :)
