Re: canned data for AD and Exchanged

[Carlos Perez <carlos_perez () darkoperator com>]

Exchange depends on AD, in fact you have to extend the forest schema and the domain shcema before installing Exchange, 
once installed it will create mailboxes for the leaf objects  (User Accounts) in AD and as you know AD depends heavily 
on DNS. Exchange is a whole beast all by it self http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996058(EXCHG.80).aspx
