is the old 2000 server also a domain controller?

<div>
The old server is Exchange 2000. &nbsp;the new computer is a 2003 R2 Domain Controller. &nbsp;The new DC/Exchange2003 server is set as a Global Catalog. &nbsp;The 2000 server is also a GC. &nbsp;I used the second article to remove the 2000 Exchange server from the org. &nbsp;The only problem is that if I take the 2000 server down the mail is not accessible. &nbsp;So I can not uninstall until this problem is resolved. &nbsp;I will post something on the dsaccess as soon as I check on it.

I have gone through all the procedures of removing the first exchange server from our organization using article (). &nbsp;When we bring down the old server none of our users can access email. &nbsp;Outlook error says cannot contact exchange server or exchange server is unavailable. &nbsp;Also we get an error in ESM on the 2003 server that reads:<br />
The RPC server is unavailable<br />
Facility: Win32<br />
ID no: C00706ba<br />
Exchange system Manager<br />

I have change the Recipient Update service to reflect the new server and have check all dns settings.
