You need to run ntdsutil from a DC and transfer the roles that way. Don't know if there is any documentation on that. All you need to do is set the target server, domain, site etc to the server that you are transferring the role to and then run the role transfer option from within NTDSUtil. The zone changes are easy enough. Just create the zones outside of the root DNS zone and then stop and start Netlogon. This will reregister all the SRV records etc for kerboros and LDP, GC entries into there and the old ones will becomes greyed out. (a delegate I think).

RUS problem http://www.MSExchange.org/ Have you tried moving the Schema Master to the domain that you are trying to run Domain Prep on? Alternatively move the _UDP; _TCP; _MSDCS and _Sites zones outside of the root domain.

RUS problem http://www.MSExchange.org/ No, i realy don't know what to do. I have a Full Exchange Administrator role, but i still can't install new one RUS server for one of the subdomain. I made /domainprep command several times, but unsuccessful. At the same time i can make this operation in any other server except Exchange server computer. Why ? Of course you can recommend to install this service from other computer except Exchange server, but if i do so it doesn't matter that this will be working and this is not working , i had tried it. Any suggestions ??
