Hi, I've read my brains out on this one... I have two servers in a domain, old (W2000) and new (W2000). Old is to be removed. Old was an Exchange 2000 server. New is an Exchange 2000 server. Exchange has been migrated from Old to New just fine. No issues. However, when I turn off Old, I can't authenticate to the domain or start the Outlook client on client machines. I have: - Transferred and verified all 5 FSMO roles...they have been move to New - Created a GC on New, verified the creation was complete via the registry key I found here, and removed the GC from Old. - Setup DNS on New and clients are using it (given out via DHCP) as is New (was setup when doing DCPROMO on New). - Removed Exchange from Old. It disappeared from ESM on it's own so the removal was successful. I have not DCPROMOed Old down yet as I'm quite afraid to. When I pull the network cable or shut down Old, I get the aforementioned authentication problems. I'm at a loss...I'm getting bleary-eyed from looking at Google groups and MS. Does anyone have anything else I should look at or any ideas why this is happening? Thanks SO much. -Keith
My apologies, I grabbed the wrong group for this question. I thought I had the Win2000 group, I had Exchange 2000 by mistake. Sorry! -Keith

What GC/DC's are listed there?
