If this is a 2k or upwards server just do a nbtstat -RR and a ipconfig /registerdns in its new home to ensure the records all update and check the event log a little while after.
If theres more then one dc i would temporarily set the servers primary dns to one of the other dcs if its ad intergrated zone to avoid a possible dns replication issue and change it back an hour later.

And remember, there really isn't a "pdc" when dealing with Windows 2000 or later.

Elmurado,
the sentence of your posting reads "A Windows Small Business Server 2003 domain can have no more than 75 CALs. You can use CALs for each user or for each device".
So does that mean that once my company reaches 75 employees exchange will need to be migrated to win2k3 standard edition?
