Hello,
My current setup includes 2 windows server 2008 domain controllers; primary & secondary. All has been working well and they are on physical machines. I also have a virtual 2008 server running Exchange Server 2007; all is working great.
My question is this: I have 2 new virtual Windows server 2008 R2 machines that I want to promote to domain controllers, and would like to make them the ONLY domain controllers; primary and secondary. If I could promote the virtual machines to the primary and secondary domain controllers, I would then like to shut off the physical servers and take them out of the equation. After this all happens, I would like to ensure that the Exchange Server would be able to transfer to he new DCs and work with them. Any suggestions on the safest way to do this? I thank you in advance for any assistance in this matter.
Brian
