To add to that.. You need a domain controller in order to run exchange
so you have done one of 2 things either you are running SBS and you
have installed exchange on it or you are running 2003 server which you
have promoted to a domain controller and you installed exchange on it.
Either way installing exchange on domain controller is not a
recommended configuration according to microsoft.
Check out this link it has several other links as to why Microsoft
says it is a no no.

Never put a domain controller or a exchange server directly on public
name space without using NAT and access lists to control what ports
will be allowed open unless the Exchange server is a Front end
relaying info to a backend cluster. Even then it is recommended to
have a router with some kind of access list to protect it with.
