Hello Benedicte,

 

Is the running Exchange also DC? Running Exchange on DC's is not recommended.

 

Additional for domain preparation see if this applies to your environment:

Install the server with OS and install Exchange on the new one, during Exchange

install at it to the existing exchange site, then move mailboxes and public

folders, create MX record in DNS for the new one, check Recipient update

service pointing to the correct DC. Also if used check Firewall settings

for the new exchange.

 

After moving everything to the new exchange follow this article:

If you see errors in the event viewer maybe this helps:

No, It is on a member server not on a DC.
