Hi List,

I am hoping some of you have some insight on a problem I am having. The
scenario is as follows:

The network is win2k native mode, sp2, with two domain controllers.

I currently have Exchange 5.5, SP4 on a Win2k domain controller (was also a
GC until last weekend) with 150 users. 

I have set up a Exchange 2000 on another server (non-DC) after running
forest prep and domain prep. I installed the Exchange 2000 ADC. I installed
win2k sp1, I joined the existed org during installation.

The problem is I cannot mount the information store on the win2k Exchange
server, and therefore I cannot move any mailboxes. I get an 9175 error every
minute on the exchange 2k server, an 8213 every 25 minutes, mixed in with
some 101's after a reboot. On the existing 5.5 server I get some 565
security errors - Directory service access errors.

Both the 5.5 and 2000 admin consoles know of the other server's existence.

I have poured over Technet and found some interesting stuff - most of the
changes were of no help. However, Q275127 mentions no upgrade path for 5.5
on win2k to exchange 2000 (that's why I demoted the 5.5 GC status, waited a
day, and rebooted). At this point I am considering opening a ticket with MS
and/or running dcpromo to demote the 5.5 server. Any suggestions or comments
are welcome.
