Server designation

Hey I'm setting up a lab environment for testing. I need 4 servers...email, DNS, Active Directory and a web server. I was curious which ones I could combine on one machine and which ones it would be wise to keep seperate on different machines.

well, you could have one Unix machine, and setup DNS, and the webserver.

If u have windows server 2000 or 2003 yeah you can use the same server

you can put all on one machine.

though microsoft advise that Exchange email machines are given their own dedicated hardware, (this is to do with dynamic memory usage by the store process).
