 |

how would one setup two w2k3 servers of standard editions so that ,say,
A is file server and is primary DC for the domain,
B is the exchange server is to be the backup DC?
Someone was trying to tell me there is no such thing as primary and backup
DC for w2K3 server |

They are correct. All AD DCs operate in multimaster mode except for the 5
FSMO roles of which one role is the PDC *emulator*.
There is no way to create a Win 2k or Win 2k3 "BDC".

That is correct. The term PDC and BDC no longer exists since the old NT
days. Bascically the first server online is the (primary) DC and will hold
the FSMO roles as well as the Global Catalogs and be the primary DNS server
Any other W2k3 servers that come online and are DC's can be considered a
"secondary" DC.
So you can have Server A be the first server online and a DC and the second
W2k3 server can come online as a DC also and also be your Exchange server
and secondary DNS server.
