Thanks guys! &nbsp;I just wanted to make sure. &nbsp;I actually have a second server already set up as a backup domain controller. &nbsp;Since you both answered about the same time, and I like second opinions, I will split the points.<br />
<br />
Thanks again!<br />

Our Exchange 2003 server was setup long before I started my position. &nbsp;I have noticed that the DNS and DHCP roles were installed on our Exchange 2003 box. &nbsp;However, under DNS there are no forward or reverse lookup zones configured. &nbsp;Also, under DHCP there is no scope or any other settings.<br />
<br />
Currently, our Domain Controller (which I configured) is our DHCP and DNS server. &nbsp;Is it OK to remove these roles from our Exchange Server? &nbsp;I am assuming it is but I just wanted to verify it with the experts.<br />

Thanks,<br />

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
