Hello kdubious,
I think yes, what you can do is to add a new 2008 to the domain, promote
it to DC, make it DNS/GC etc. Install an additional member server with exchange
2007 and move the mailboxes to that one.
Then BEFORE removing exchange from the "bad one" and demoting it, shutdown/disconnect
the "bad server" and check with the clients that everything is working as
before. Do not forget to reconfigure DNS for the clients to the new DNS server.
Best regards
Meinolf Weber
