In general installing Exchange (application) on domain controller is not recommended, neither a good idea, however, If this is your LAB , I don’t see any problem you can do it.

Here is an article may help you to understand why it is not a good idea installing anything on Domain controllers. Remember DC’s do have their own ADDS database and they have pretty busy purpose their own, installing Exchange on Domain controller makes everything very complicated.
