I have three exchange 5.5 servers. The first server in site is in one domain, the other 2 are in another. I want to move the first server into the domain with the other 2 and get rid of the old domain. What is the best approach?

Add to this question, that my exchange service acct is in the other domain also.

Couple of important considerations.

1. Where is your service Account. First (1 Server) domain or Second (2 servers) domain

2. We will assume that your servers are all Member servers

If the service account is in the First domain then youwill need to create a new service account in the second domain using the same password as the existing service account. You then need to change the service account to the new one created. Microsoft website has a document that tell you how.

You then only need to reassign the single server to the new domain after which you can get rid of that domain. If the service account is already in the second domain then you only need to reassign domains on the first server.
