I am in the process of decomissioning one of my domain controllers. &nbsp;It is a 2008 DC. &nbsp;I have 3 other 2016 DCs. &nbsp;I ran diagnostic on all three and it came back with no errors. &nbsp;My Exchange 2010 server was showing as pointing to my 2008 DC. &nbsp;I wanted to make sure it wasn't an issue for my exchange server when I decomissioned my 2008DC so I ran the following commands on my exchange server <br />
Set-ExchangeServer -Identity &lt;server_name&gt; -StaticDomainControllers DC-01.dc.local,DC-02.dc.lo<wbr />cal <br />
<br />
and<br />
<br />
Set-ExchangeServer -Identity &lt;server_name&gt; -StaticGlobalCatalogs DC-01.dc.local,DC-02.dc.lo<wbr />cal <br />
<br />
Then I rebooted the exchange server. &nbsp;After reboot I could no longer remote into the server and mail was not working. &nbsp;When I'm physically at the server, the network connections have a red x in them but I cannot access network connections to fix them. &nbsp;It acts like it's opening them but even after 30 minutes the window is blank. &nbsp;I tried to go into the Exchange PowerShell window so I could change the DC and GC back to the old server but it tells me it cannot connect to my Exchange Server

I am in the process of decomissioning one of my domain controllers.  It is a 2008 DC.  I have 3 other 2016 DCs.  I ran diagnostic on all three and it came back with no errors.  My Exchange 2010 server was showing as pointing to my 2008 DC.  I wanted to make sure it wasn't an issue for my exchange server when I decomissioned my 2008DC so I ran the following commands on my exchange server 
Set-ExchangeServer -Identity <server_name> -StaticDomainControllers DC-01.dc.local,DC-02.dc.local 

and

Set-ExchangeServer -Identity <server_name> -StaticGlobalCatalogs DC-01.dc.local,DC-02.dc.local 

Then I rebooted the exchange server.  After reboot I could no longer remote into the server and mail was not working.

Exchange Server no longer working after changing Default Domain Controller and Global Catalog Server

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Golang, also called Go, is an open source programming language that is a statically-typed language with syntax loosely derived from C, adding automatic memory management, type safety, some dynamic-typing capabilities, additional built-in types such as variable-length arrays and key-value maps, and a large standard library. Go is a general-purpose systems programming language that aims to be efficient both for development and execution with a focus on fast compilation and increased maintainability of large projects. Go was originally targeted at systems programming tasks such as building server/web applications, high throughput middleware and databases.
