You really don't have to wipe out AD & Exchange. Just disable RRAS first and
then take the extra NIC out. That's all. You'll be surprised at the ease of
it. As you said, use the KISS method. You're putting yourself thru too much
work for this. I can see why you're getting a headache, you're looking at an
elephant thru a microscope.
