Hi There: I had to unjoin an exchange server 2003 (member server) from a W2003 native domain and I need to rejoin it . I deleted the object under computers in ADUC and in asdiedt then tried to rejoin it. It took so long the first time that I reset the machine account. I unjoined it rebooted and attempted to rejoin. It is now going on 3 hours, and it just sits there withe the "Applying Computer Settings" message. I know there must be mis-matched SIDS, but at this point I am unsure exactly what I should do. Help would be appreciated. Thanks

I had same instance, not rejoining, just restarting exchange server, my exchange hung for about 45 minuts, I just pressed ALT + Ctrl +Del this fixed my issue and came back with login menu, I am not sure this might have fixed, follow the link for to look for otherside of the mirror http://forums.techarena.in/windows-server-help/10445.htm http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/winserverDS/thread/a0d7a481-a103-4e51-b9b0-10e165f8c96d update on the outcomeWith best regards siddu sajjan : Disclaimer: This posting is provided "as is" with no warranties, and confers no rights.
