Member server: Can it have a mailbox server or is that only for domain controllers?

Question

If I join a Windows Server 2003 machine as a member server to another Window Server 2008 machine that is a DC, can I have a mailbox server in the Window Server 2003 member server? Or is that only for DCs? Thanks..

You can install a mailbox server (presumably Exchange Server) on any domain joined server.

To add to that, Microsoft recommends *not* having it on a DC, unless it is an SBS. – Nixphoe Jun 22 '11 at 20:58
