RE: Disaster Recovery Planning for Exchange

I have a similar issue (Exchange 2003 on a DC) that I will need to
tackle at some time.

Could I do several backups.
Remove Exchange
Demote Server to be a Member Server
Then install exchange using the /diasterrecovery switch restoring the
databases to the 'new' Exchange Servers.
