Microsoft discourages using exchange on a domain controller.
Are you running in native 2000 mode? Also PDC and BDC don’t have the same meanings they had for NT. You have several single purpose master roles, see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q197132/
Our exchange upgrade from 5.5 to 2003 went with minimal problems but we didn’t try to make it a domain controller.
