I am considering wiping out my Domain COntroller and Exchange Server (Same Server) and seperating them. My decision is soley based on sevearal critical errors from the current server including DNS, Sharepoint and AD problems. When I build the new domain add all of my users and build the new Exchange server will I be able to restore the old exchange data to this new server with a different SID? WIll the users be able to connect tothere "old mailboxes" Etc? Thanks for your help in advance....
I would most definitely not recommend that approach. -- Ed Crowley MVP - Exchange "Protecting the world from PSTs and brick backups!"

Hi, Your best bet would probably be to install the new Exchange server into the existing Exchange organization and move mailboxes to it. You can also create a new DC that gets a copy of AD from the current one.
