In general you don't want to do that because of the requirements of Exchange; it should be on a server by itself, not part of the domain controller.

-----------------------------------------------------------

There are some major reasons behind not installing Exchange Server on Domain Controller, some of them are as below.

01. Redundancy and Stability: If both of these are running on the same system, it may reduce the performance and stability of server. If in any case Exchange Server services fails, the whole DC will fail, which may create critical problems.

02. Port Conflict: Domain Controller & Exchange Server both uses port 389 for LDAP queries, which creates conflict.

03. Disaster & Recovery: Disaster & Recovery can not be performed.

04. DSAccess: DSAccess, DSProxy and many other services will perform well.
