Windows Server 2003 and My Network Places

I have a Windows 2003 server I have installed Exchange
2003 on it and it is now my Production email server. I can
see the server in my netowrk places. I was thinking of
removing it from the domain and adding it back. What I
want to know is will this have any adverse effects on the
exchange installation. Does Exchange tie in very deeply
with the computer account and it's permissions. Please
help..

Exchange is "married" to Active Directory and even makes changes to AD which
are not reversable. If you do what you mentioned it will blow up in your
face so bad it may burn down the whole city block.

To do anything close to that you'd have to setup a second Exchange Server,
move all the mailboxes and other resources over to the second one. Then
"gracefully" follow the proceedures to remove the first Exchange from the
Site then uninstall it. Then remove/re-add the machine from/to the domain.
