I have several Windows 2000 DC's and several Exchange 2000 servers.
We are planning to upgrade the DC's to 2003
All of the DC's are going to be replaced with new hardware and new names.
We were planning on Adpreping the domain running the exchange.ldf fix and
adding a new 2003 DC and then transfer all the roles.
Then one by one replace all the DC's.
My question is the following.
Is there anywhere to tell on the Exchange servers where all domain config is
stored?
I found the RUS settings that I will need to change manually, I am afraid I
will miss something...

Thanks for the help


There is, in Exchange System Manager a couple of places where you
select a DC to connect to. OAB is one of them if memory serves (I'm
not near a legacy 2003 box at the moment).
The DSaccess tab contains the GCs, DCs and Configuration DC. As you
add new GCs just keep an eye and make sure that the location is
picking up the new servers. When a suitable DC comes into there you
can change the Configuration DC to a new one.
