Guest ReddogCA Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 My Exchange 2003 won't start after I DCPROMO'd the Windows 2000 Server DC it was on. I made it a Mbr Srv. I did everything I could find on the Internet related to the error msg, i.e. edited group policy and reran domainprep. Nothing worked. So I put DCPROMO'd it back to a DC and it now it works again. Any ideas?
Guest ReddogCA Posted July 11, 2007 Posted July 11, 2007 RE: Exchange 2003 Won't Start After DCPROMO Apparently Microsoft does not support this action, KB822179. How about if once I DCPROMO then I reinstall Exchange, TechNet Article “How to Reinstall Exchange 2003 over a Damaged Installation”?

Guest ReddogCA Posted July 13, 2007 Posted July 13, 2007 RE: Exchange 2003 Won't Start After DCPROMO Ok, so here we go...I know I need to reinstall Exchange if I want this to happen. So, do I uninstall Exchange, dcpromo, and then reinstall Exchange? Or, do I dcpromo and then reinstall Exchange? Thanks for everyones comments.
