Answer / parvesh paliwal
well, this is not a good pratice to so and the reasons
behind are :
1. Redundancy and Stability - if the exchange server fails
then Domain Controller also fails and it concludes a big
failure...
2. Overload : It may overload your existing server and that
can cause a significant performance problem.
well if think there is something important that i missed
please inform me via mail.

Answer / harisha
If Exchange server is installed on DC, Exchange server will
not try to contact other DCs for DSACCESS. So if DC fails,
Exchange will also failed.
As mentioned n above comments also suits.

Answer / akshat nigam
Besides stability, redundancy and overload. The major reason
is that both Exchange and DC use port 389 for LDAP queries.
If you install both on same machine it results in port
conflicts.

You can install the exchange on DC, but it deteriorates the
perfomance of the server esp AD would affect in terms of
replication issues.
Majorly Exchange Admins wont prefer this option.
