Hello phemmywales,
Your reply to the subject doesn't really fit, 2008 32bit to 2008 64bit inplace
upgrade is not possible.
Exchange on a DC is not recommended for none Exchange version.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../aa997407.aspx
Also using Exchange 2010 which is not RTM until in a production environment
is a not recommended setup.
According to the not running services on the 2008 DC, please describe your
complete domain setup, amount of DCs and how they are located, which functional
levels do you run and which SP/patch level is installed on all DCs. Are all
DCs Global catalog server?
Which server is your DNS server and are all DCs listed with there A record
under the forward lookup zone and if they are DNS server also with there
Nameserver record? Do you use AD integrated zones in DNS? Can you ping between
the DCs with ip address, computername and FQDN?
Best regards
Meinolf Weber
