Having Exchange on a DC is not recommended by Microsoft. Issues that are known with Exchange 2007 SP2: http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2009/09/02/3408189.aspx Thanks.JAUCG

In itself, there should be no issues. But sometimes you might face some minor problems when you try to remove an Exchange server. Install Exchange on a member server, move the mailboxs to the new server, de-install your Exchange server on your DC. See for instance here.
