Multiple domain controllers running Windows Server 2003 for Small Business Server have been detected in your domain. This computer will shut down in 60 minutes unless you remove all but one of these from the domain.

event ID 1012

heres the situation, i have installed 2003sbs once, and i did not continue with the installation after the first part of the install was complete because it sounded like it wanted this server to become the master server in which i didnt feel comfterble with because the old server 2000SBS was taking the main roles, and i only wanted to add this new server as a 2003SBS. Then i had to reformat the new server (server: Neptune) when i re configed the new server (pluto) i did the same setup options as decribed before, and ran dcpromo manually, adding it to the doamin. Ive noticed that in exchange 2003 i have the old server (server) the server before i reformated (neptune) and the new sever (pluto) neptune is filling my exchange queues for pluto. how do i remove neptune from the domain, when neptune doesnt even exist??? and how do i fix this issue above thats making me reboot every 60 and 30minutes??? telling me about licensing compliances and the EULA??

-Any help is greatly appreciated, and i would be glad to provide more information. Thanks

-Nick

could find nothing on Microsofts Help & Support site and in my experience[since I'm running a couple of DCs on SBS] haven't seen this problem. I do know that SBS will NOT establish trust relationships between domains [built in limitation of SBS]. Suggest you contact Microsoft directly or visit their community newsgroups for SBS 2003.

I managed to figure out the issue of the server wanting to reboot ever 30/60minutes. I still have yet to resolve the issue of fake exchange servers remaining in the exchange manager servers listing, they are still filling my real servers queue untill i freeze there connections which i have to do everytime the server starts up.

Answer #2 did help me half way. It took care of part of the problem, but the other half still remains in that in the queue list of my main/real exchange server i have 3 objects that seem to indicate that the mail server is trying to contact /send messages to the 2 fake servers that i deleted as asnwer#2 instructed. how do i stop the server from trying to contact those fake servers so they are not filling up my queues to the point where i have to freeze thm again?
