I have the hardware available now to move the DC role off this Exchange box and actually I'm am having trouble with it. Ninja can't seem to run properly in this type of config. Lucky for us we have "stimulus money" to spend on technology so I can get my house in order now.

Any gotchas I need to worry about or should just be a standard demotion event? The other DCs are all 03 servers, don't think that complicates anything. Thanks, James
