Hi all,

I'm running a 2k3 server at home.
This is configured as Fileserver and works rather well.
I own a domain which is hosted with an online hosting company.
Also I have an hosted exchange server which costs a few bucks and is not the fastest connection.

It would be great to host the exchange server on my FS at home and save a few bucks and have some more speed.

Is it possible to host an exchange server at home without turning my FS into a domain controller?
Setting up a DC is a bit over the top since I'm the only user ;)

No
Exchange must be an exchange server and a global catalog server.

It's not hard to turn a file server into a domain controller...
