Hi, If I am understanding correctly, you may want to specify Windows 2003 SP1 DC/GC for Exchange 2007 Server and you want to exclude DCs/GCs which runs on Windows 2000 Server, right? If this is your situation, Id like to explain that unlike Exchange 2003, Exchange 2007 need do it in EMS(shell) other than EMC(Console). Please refer to below steps: 1. open Exchange Management Shell. 2. Run command: Set-ExchangeServer -Identity "<Exchange server name>" -StaticExcludedDomainControllers "<FQDN of Windows 2003 DC>", "<FQDN of Windows 2003 DC>" -DomainController <FQDN of Windows 2003 DC> For more information about command Set-ExchangeServer, please refer to: Set-ExchangeServer http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123716(EXCHG.80).aspx More Information: -------------------------- To verify whether Windows 2000 DC are excluded, please run command Get-ExchangeServer -Identity "<server name>" |fl and check the domain controller related properties. -Jason
