The above mentioned error could come up in the following situation:
- Single server running as Domain Controller, Exchange 2007 or 2010 and Forefront Antivirus for Exchange
During migration phase to new hardware, at some stage I needed to run a dcpromo on this "single server box" to make it member server (Exchange was still active on it), when somewhere halfway the DCPromo demote wizard, the mentioned error came up, and DCPromo failed.
Easy Solution: Stop all Forefront ... Services prior to running DCPromo wizard again; Caution: stopping the Forefront Service Controller will immediately stop the Exchange Information Store and Exchange Transport Service.
Cheers,
