I have recently upgraded our domain to 2003. I installed 2 new DC alllowed
them to run inconjunction with our 2000 servers for a while and then ran
DCPROMO on our 2000 servers and demoted them. Everything seems to be working
fine so far, besides the fact I am recieiving some error messages on the new
2003 exchange server. However when I look at dns I still have some residule
references to the old DC's. I was wondering if I can just delete these
references or if there is something I need to do to wipe away the references.
I don't want to later find that I have remains and references to my old
dc's. If anyone can help me that would be great. Thanks Jennifer

Hello Jennifer,

I am looking at upgrading in the same way that you did. Can you offer me any
advice/articals that will help.
