Modify Configuration Domain Controller
Hello!
In our company we have tow domains that have full trusts between them.
Let's name the two domains "domain1" and "domain2" for simplicity.
Many time ago someone installed exchange server 2007 in "domain1", but all the users that are using exchange are in "domain2".
Can I tranfer the configuration domain controller form "domain1" to "domain2" and remove "domain1" afterwords?

Hi
1. You can use admt. You can move user from domain2 to domain1.
2. You can install exchange 2007 in domain2.
3. You can create linked mailbox in domain1.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123524(v=exchg.80).aspx
example: New-Mailbox -Database "Mailbox Database 1" -Name "John Peoples" -LinkedDomainController "DC01fabrikam" -LinkedMasterAccount fabrikam\john -OrganizationalUnit Users -UserPrincipalName john@contoso.com -LinkedCredential:(Get-Credential
fabrikam\Admin01)
But you can't remove domain1 dc.

Hi,
Yes you can change the ConfigurationDomainController if you want to, but it shouldn't be necessary to do so.
Example: $AdminSessionADSettings.ConfigurationDomainController = 'DC.domain2.com'

Hi
If there aren't any users or mailboxes in domain1, you can remove exchange 2007 and AD.
