Honestly you shouldn't install Exchange or any back offfice
products on domain controllers.
Other than that I am kind of confused by your post... You
demoted a machine that I take was also running Exchange and then you rebuilt it
from the beginning? What does that mean, did you reload the operating system or
did you repromote? Was that the only DC of the domain it
hosted?

Subject: [ActiveDir] exchange 2003 & dcpromo
Hi,
Is it true that we shouldn't run dcpromo when exchange 2003 is installed in
a domain controller ?
I had a problem with the DC..so I dcpromo-ed it and then rebuild it from
the beginning.
Now I can't start the services needed by exchange. Not sure when dcpromo is
the root of the problem, but I can't start any services (not only those needed
by exchange).
It tried to start the service...i could see the progress bar...but
after waiting for quite a long time, it failed with the following error:
error 1053: the service did not respond to the start or control request in
a timely fashion
I googled and found this link: http://www.jsiinc.com/SUBI/tip4400/rh4493.htm
The symptomps described quite match my situation (Internet Connection
Wizard hangs & I couldn't see the properties of the adapter) but
unfortunately the cause of problem doesn't. The logical disk manager
administrative service is set to manual and the dmadmin registry contains the
appropriate value...
I wonder wether the following error about ntfrs found in event
viewer might be the cause of the above problem:
The file replication service has detected that the replica root path has
changed from "C:\WINNT\SYSVOL\DOMAIN" to "C:\WINNT\SYSVOL\DOMAIN" If this is an
intentional move then a file with the name NTFRS_CMD_FILE_MOVE_ROOT needs to be
created under the new root path. This was detected for the following replica set
"DOMAIN SYSTEM VOLUME (SYSVOL SHARE)"
Is the above error critical for the operation of active directory and
exchange server ?
I found the following link http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;819268 which
is similar to my problem, but I'm not sure whether it's the right
solution since the path mentioned is "C:\bin" not
"C:\WINNT\SYSVOL\DOMAIN"
Should I reinstall exchange on the win2k server ?
I'll really appreciate any inputs...
Thanks,
lara
