repadmin /replsum - Experienced the following operational errors trying to retrieve replication information
Hi, I'm trying to promote a Windows Server 2003 on a domain with all Windows Server 2000 Domain Controllers (The Windows Server 2003 machine is intended to run Exchange 2003). I'm following the Microsoft Article Q325379. I used repadmin to determine the OS ServicePack and Version of the domain controllers, and all three Server 2000 DCs were identical (Service Pack 4, Version = 5.0 - 2195). When I run repadmin /replsum to check replicatation, I get the following:
Experienced the following operational errors trying to retrieve replication information:
8453 - (Lists all three domain controllers with the 8453)
I appreciate any help I can get.
Thank you,
Ryan

Thank you oBdA, I thought Exchange had to be installed on a DC. Now I know not to do that.
We currently have: 1 Exchange Server 2000 machine on Server 2000, and 2 Server 2000 machines.
The new machine has Server 2003 which I just installed, and it's a member of the domain. I was going to promote it to a DC, then install Exchange 2003. Now that I know not to promote it to a DC, can I just go ahead and install Exchange 2003 on this new machine and let the Exchange setup perform the forestprep and domainprep to extend the schema?

You're aware that running Exchange on a DC is not recommended? And note that running dcpromo on an Exchange server is not possible without breaking Exchange (which means you can install Exchange on a DC, but you can't run dcpromo on an Exchange server, and you can't demote a DC running Exchange without uninstalling Exchange first)!
