This seems akin to formatting and reinstalling Windows to fix a problem.
While this is sometimes the only viable solution to fix a problem, all
other
avenues should be explored before doing that.

You have Active Directory replication issues, I think you should look at
correcting them. There are several things you can look at to correct it.
As
this is an Exchange list I'll just point you in a couple good
directions:

Follow the links for the "Active Directory Discussion" which is the
first
entry in the list. It is a very good mailing list, on par with this
Exchange
list.

Or try:

I have been thinking about it for a while now...
I have Exchange 2000 sp3 running on 2K server which is also DC2 in the
domain. It is not a GC or anything, just a secondary DC in the domain.
I installed DC on the server first and then Exchange software.
Everything seems to running good, except i have some replication issues
with GC DC. Someone previously made both of the DC's GC and AD was
getting
confused, but i made the chages back as you can have only one GC server
per domain.

Now i am having all kinds of "strange" issues with replication and i was
wondering if i can demote this server to memeber server, remove AD from
it
and later on proote it back to DC. This should cleanup my connections
and
regenerate them again.

If i do demote this server which has Exch2000 on it, will the mail
server
sill work without DC on it??? Have anyone done this before???

Vadim.
