Problem after migrating Exchange server 2007 to 2010

I have a problem after I migrated my Exchange 2007 server to 2010.
I have a DC with 2008-64 with Ex2007 on it. I set up a new DC with 2008R and installed ex2010.
I mirgated everything from 2007 to 2010 and deinstalled the ex2007 afterwards. The I moved the roles from the old DC to the new one (except infrastructure master).
Now everything seems to work fine, but in the console of the Excange 2010 server I can only see the old 2008 server as responsible DC (server/client access for example).
How can I change that? I would prefer some powershell command. Because I would like to remove the old DC I have to get in a new one for exchange.

the command for that is

Set-ExchangeServer -Identity <ServerIdParameter> [-StaticConfigDomainController <String>] [-StaticDomainControllers <MultiValuedProperty>] [-StaticExcludedDomainControllers <MultiValuedProperty>] [-StaticGlobalCatalogs <MultiValuedProperty>]
 
did you make the new DB with 2008 a GC

Yes I made the new DC a GC.
tspreeth: can you give me examples for the parameters needed?
example:
Set-ExchangeServer -identity Exchangeserver2010  -DomainController newdc.domain.com -StaticDomainControllers ‘newdc.domain.com’,'newdc2.domain.com'
 -StaticGlobalCatalogs ‘newgc.domain.com’, 'newgc1.domain.com’ -StaticConfigDomainController ‘newdc.domain.com’, ‘newdc1.domain.com’
I tried to set it like this:
Set-ExchangeServer -identity Exchangeserver2010  -DomainController newdc.domain.com -StaticDomainControllers ‘newdc.domain.com’
-StaticGlobalCatalogs ‘newdc.domain.com’ -StaticConfigDomainController ‘newdc.domain.com'
Afterwards I could not connect to the exchange server (on newdc) anymore with RDP and a lot of the exchange services ceased to start. I found out that I had to change this

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\MSExchange ADAccess\Profiles]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\MSExchange ADAccess\Profiles\Default]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\MSExchange ADAccess\Profiles\Default\UserDC1]
"HostName"="newdc.domain.com"
"IsGC"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\MSExchange ADAccess\Profiles\Default\UserGC1]
"HostName"="newdc.domain.com"
"IsGC"=dword:00000001

back to

indows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\MSExchange ADAccess\Profiles]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\MSExchange ADAccess\Profiles\Default]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\MSExchange ADAccess\Profiles\Default\UserDC1]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\MSExchange ADAccess\Profiles\Default\UserGC1]
"HostName"="olddc.domain.com"
"IsGC"=dword:00000001

After that everything worked as before, but I still have only the old DC as a reference in the exchange console.
Sorry that it took a little bit to answer, but I had no email for a while :)
you don't want to statically assign the domain controller to exchange

run dcdiag on the new server/dc and post the results
My OS language is german, so I think you will have difficutlies with the DCdiag results, but it was a good idea. I already found 2 errors, which I will explore.
danke
there is an option with this tool to fix some issues like DNS
dcdiag /fix
dcdiag /fix did not fix it. The \\dc\netlogon is unreachable and there seems to be a problem with advertising as DC. I think I have a problem with the sysvol share.
yes, you need to look at the logs on the domain controllers
that is definitely outside dcdiag capabilities
I fixed the problem with the sysvol share, but I still cannot use my new DC for AdAccess.
run the dcdiag again and verify there are no errors
No errors so far
