NEW SERVER WON'T DCPROMO

[bwind]

So I had a main server crash and had to set up a new one...restoring old data/etc. Once I set it up I had to set up a new exchange server...or try to...as I tried to DCPROMO it it won't. Giving me the 5171 event ID. Which I looked up. I've tried the netdiag.exe /fix. It shows the same deregistration failures that are shown happening in the System log. The System log gives an error ID of 5775: NETLOGON...Dns operation refused...deregistration didn't work...etc. Any extra suggestions would be appreciated.

After reading that Exchange Server is recommended to run on a member server instead of a DC I just decided to skip trying to promote it. The installation seems to be a success but I can't get the MS Exch System Attendent/IMAP4/POP3/Info Store to start. ???
The DNS is set to the main DC. The AD on the memberserver/ExchSvr seems to be communicating with the DC because it replicates the DC AD with no problem.
Thanks for the help!
