Hi all, I need to demote a windows 2000 dc from an exchange 2000 server machine (where they live togheter). It still exist another dc that own all five master operation roles. Is this operation dangerous? I'm reading this in some web site. Kind regards David
Hi, It is not a supported operation and it might very well destroy the exchange server functionality. Why do you need to perform this operation? Much better to install a new server and move all mailboxes to the new server.

Hi, I need to do so because if the primary Dc installed in the forest will crash, the Exchange machine isn't capable to performs Dc and Dns services without degradation. All pc's appears to be freeze. I can install an additional Dc and add more priority (dns) to the Exchange Dc installation forcing any client to not be serviced by this machine. It can be a solution?
