Hi Guys,
I need some help on removing a faulty domain controller from the AD forest. Here is the scenario:
1. The FSMO roles have been seized to a new domain controller already.
2. The old one is non-functional and is down for ever.
I know the steps would be doing a meta-data cleanup And then remove some of the DNS entries related to the old server. But the real issue is:
> I have Exchange 2013 running in one of the machines configured in the Forest, which was migrated from the old Domain controller. I then set Exchange listening to the new domain controller.
So, my doubt is, if I delete the old domain controller and do a metadata cleanup, would it have any effect on the exchange server? The Exchange machine acts as an additional domain controller as well. Its a production environment and any change that affects Exchange would cause a big loss. Looking forward for your valuable suggestions..
Regards,
Nash
