AD Sites and Services Question
I have server 1 and server4 as domain controllers. I confirmed this becuase under AD Users and Computers, these two server are listed in the domain controllers OU. However, under AD Sites and Services, I see server3 which is not a domain controller. Server3 is my exchange server. My question, can I delete this object (server3) in my AD under sites and services since it's not a domain controller? this might explain why in my server1 event log under directory service, I'm getting a event code 1864 NTDS replication error. Just need confirmation.

Yep...if it isn't a DC it shouldn't be listed in AD sites and services.
saw a similar question the other day, for some reason the exchange server turned up.......if that server was ever a DC, then due to a wonderful bug in the DCPROMO tool, it probably never got removed..... if not then listen to TheCleaner

Get a error to not delete server3 container oject. It says to demote using dcpromo. But its not a dc, so do I have to delete the containers within the server3 container like NTDS Settings first.
