No, it will remove the entire Exchange organization.

It's a domain controller.

What's the name of the server container that holds that NTDS object.
Is it the name of a "live" DC or the name of the DC you think you got
rid of by running dcpromo on it?

It's the name of the good server, I can't find the old DC server anywhere.
Looking back at our helpdesk logs the decommission of the old DC did cause
the old Exchange 2003 server to stop working. Thing is we hae no users on
it, it is only for old restores, but I'd still like to have it on our live
Domain.

I could create a new domani with the same name and same Exchange server on a
separate VLAN/DMZ I suppose.
