Cannot modify DC in RUS (Enterprise Configuration)

[PScottC]

I have a client who asked me to evaluate the health of their AD and Exchange. They reported to me an issue that I have never seen before.

When you attempt to change the domain controller that is used by RUS for the Enterprise Configuration, you get an error:

[red]The operation failed.
ID no: 80004005
Exchange System Manager[/red]

This error message pops up as soon as you click on the "Browse" button. This error does not occur on any other RUS object.

The user account attempting to is a member of Domain Admins, Enterprise Admins, and is delegated Exchange Full Admin permissions at the root of the organization.

I haven't drilled into the ACL yet, but I plan to in the next couple of days.

Anyone seen this?

It turns out that the source of this issue was a collection of replication problems in AD. The problem resolved itself after I resolved the following issues:

1) Remove orphaned child domain from AD
2) Remove orphaned DC from AD
3) Remove dead NTDS replication objects from AD
4) Clean up SRV and A records in DNS
5) Resolve DFS issues on 2 DC's

right, most exchange RUS issues are related to AD repl.

my cusotmer here also hired me to do the Exchange Check, and i found lots of AD problems.
