Which AD Domain Controller/Global Catalog should I use for my Exchange Server ?

Hi All,

Can anyone please suggest me which AD/DC should I repoint the Exchange Server for the best practice ?

Because my Exchange Server is now in the remote Data Center while my Office building only got one small DC/GC that will be decommisioned and replaced with small VMs to server as DHCP and DNS server only.

Should I point the AD/DC in the new Data Center or build another one in the existing Office building where all of the workstations resides ?

There is just one AD domain with 3 different AD sites:

My Office & The existing Production Exchange Server stacks are all in Office1-AD-Site
My Production Servers are all in Prod-AD-Site
My DR Servers are all in DR-AD-Site

How to add virtual DC ?
My exchange servers are all 2007 SP3 on top of windows server 2008 enterprise 64 bit SP2.

In the new data center the DC/GC are all Windows Server 2012 standard.
