Chris,
If that was the first DC and you remove that make sure all your FSMO
roles are moved over the new DC. Secondly verify that the Exchange RUS
service points to the new DC.

Try this,
Without shutting down the server completely, just stop all Exchange
services only. Are the users able to access the email ?


Regards,

Raj

Hi Raj,

The first exchange server was/is a GC and DC, in fact it was the first
DC and so the root box. We have three DC's in the domain, including the
new Exchange server and all three are a GC.

Chris,
Was the first Exchange server a DC/GC ? How many DC/GCs do you have in
the domain ?

Regards,
Raj

Thanks Raj,

Ok, now that you've mentioned the path I can say that the RGM was
changed and my new box has been set as master for some time now. The new
box serves as DC and Exchange server and meant to be a stand alone mail
server. I have turned GC on and off in my various attempts at full
success.

When I turn off the first box folks get a network error that they can't
find the mail server. All clients are pointed to the new server and
their mail resides on that server.

Thanks for your patience and insight.

Chris,
To change the Routing Group Master, Go to Admin Group - Routing Groups -
RGNAME - Members - Right click on the new server to be assigned as RG
Master and selecte Set as Master.

Is this a standalone Exchange Server or DC/GC/Exchange server ? What
problems do you notice when you shutdown the first server ?


Regards,

Raj

Hi Raj,

That link is the exact document I am following for procedure. All
replication is configured and in sync. I don't have any connectors and
not sure of the routing master, couldn't seem to find that setting, the
RUS has been changed as well.

Chris,

Have you replicated all System public folders ?
Have you changed the Routing Group Master ?
Have you rehomed all connectors ?
Have you changed RUS server?

Refer to the following link,

Hi all,

I moved my Exchange 2000 server from the original box to a new one. I
rehomed and replicated everything I can think of, but if I shut down the
original box our email doesn't work. I'm stumped, is there an AD change
I need to make?
