Is the dc still listed in active directory? &nbsp;Was the dc removed or is it just offline? <br />
<br />
If it has been removed, and dcpromo didn't remove the records properly, remove the records from active directory, and then yes, Exchange 2007 should find the new dc. &nbsp;Here's an article from exchange forums regarding dc selection in exchange 07<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
Our exchange server is defaulting to a non-existent domain controller when querying with powershell. I looked in Server config --&gt; System settings and it is set first in the 'Domain Controllers being used by Exchange' section whereas the global catalog server is correct so not affecting users.<br />
<br />
Anyone know how i can get rid of the non-existent DC. I was under the impression that Exchange would just drop it if it wasn't available<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
Neil
