Now I have finished link exchange 2003 to exchange 2007 in same exchange ou.
The mailbox can success transfer to exchange 2007 via shell command.
But now the GC(Global Catalog) and AD keep in exchange 2003 server, I would
to know how to transfer GC and AD to exisiting Exchange 2007 server. Also
the exchange 2003 will be unplug.

Hi,

If the 2007 server is not already a domain controller you can't make it a
DC. It is not supported to run dcpromo on a 2007 server.

If you have moved everything ftom the 2003 server why not just uninstall
exchange 2003 and keep this server as a DC?

Hi,

As I wrote in my first post you can't make an Exchange 2007 server a domain
controller after exchange is installed.
