Hello,

We have domain controllers on both exchange 2003 cluster nodes.

What are the prerequisites, jobs to be done to successfully move domain
controllers to other servers?

Thanks,
Peter

You have to build new Exch Servers and move mailboxes.
Running DCPROMO on Exch Servers is not supported.

Speaking personally I'd dcpromo the new servers and then follow
standard procedured to make one node the passive, uninstall Exchange,
dcpromo it down, format it and then rebuild/rejoin it to the cluster.
Then follow the same steps again.
Remember that demoting an Exchange server is not a supported solution.
