My problem is that Microsoft escalated group couldn't figure out
why Exchange 03 box losses
communication with my 2 global catalogs which causes a crash on the Information
Store. I am very confused
with whats going on but so is Microsoft. Which is why I decided to purchase an
additional server and install
Exchange 03 and setup a cluster with the primary. I wanted to make the cluster
a DC and a global catalog so
that it could get all of the AD updates preventing the crash.

When you stop being a DC/GC IIS is pretty much removed. Exchange stores some
stuff in the IIS Metabase, so all that exchange relies on in Metabase goes away.
Additionally it is not really a good (supported) idea to cluster a Domain
controller.

Last I heard, it's not recommended to have Exchange on a DC. However, if you
already do, don't just demote the server. You have to uninstall Exchange from
that box first, or you'll get into a very difficult situation....isn't that
right Don?

Hi All I have two questions:
Is there any issue to have your exchange 03 server be a domain controller and a
global catalog at the same time?
I am looking to purchase a new additional server Exchange 03 server to make a
cluster for instant failover in case the main mail server goes offline. What
are my options?
