Thank You

hi,

Thanks for your details explaination regarding your environment.

Current Scenario:
1) sbs server with exchange 2003
2) Joined new normal 2k3 server
Goal : Need to decomission the sbs server.

As far as the dcdiag is concerned it looks good.
I got a article which is explaing steps for your current scenario....

But here one thing they have added is before you could promote it as DC you need to make the member server as DNS. Please follow the exact steps and let me know your concern

The main steps of this procedure are as follows:
  1. Join a Windows Server 2003 Standard to the domain as a member server (DC01).
  2. Install DNS on DC01.
  3. DC promo DC01.
  4. Make DC01 a Global Catalog server (GC).
  5. Change the preferred DNS address of DC01 to point to itself. Change the preferred DNS address of SBS to point to DC01.
  6. Transfer the FSMO roles to DC01.
  7. Wait for replication to take place. Give it a good 15 minutes, depending upon the size of your network.
  8. Remove the GC from SBS.
