Exchange 2010 and Terminal Services Configuration

I want to confirm that Exchange 2010 Standard edition will allow for the setup of 5 different Email groups.  

I would like to setup 1 exchange Server to handle mail for company1.com and company2.com through to company5.com, all being independent.

I also would like to make a Domain Controller a Terminal Server as well (Separate of the Exchange Server).

I should be able to accomplish this should I not?  I would also just use AVG for Exchange Email to handle spam and virus detection.

Let me know if this is feasible.

Thanks

Thanks for the reply Kaffiend, I was thinking I should just use Hyper V for the Terminal Server running on the Domain Controller.....Since Hyper V uses lots of RAM it may not be the best solution, but it should be better than logging directly on the Domain Controller.
Well, if you have the budget for an additional server license, a separate server for Terminal Services would be the way to go.

Hyper-V will work fine.  Like you said, give it lots of RAM.  If you have a new-ish server, it should have enough free slots for you to add more.  RAM is a great investment, if you're going to run virtual machines.
I'm just ordering the Servers now, so I'll include lots of RAM.  Since I'm ordering the Standard Edition of 2008 64 bit Server, I think it comes with a free Standard License for use in Hyper V.
