Well, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but demoting a server that is
both a DC and Exchange will cause additional problems. (Like you really want
more.) The problem is Exchange has to connect to a DC, and one that is a GC.
If Exchange is installed on a DC, it will look to itself for AD only. You
will need to research this as there are KB on how to change the DC Exchange
looks for.
