I am fairly new to AD, exchange, and mail in general so bear with me if some of this sounds a little wacky.
I am working on moving a clients email on to an internal server from an outside host. I know its not recommended but due to limitations I am running exchange on the DC. The FQDN of the DC is ourdomain.com. I only want to move the mail services over and want to keep all of the webhosting stuff with the outside host. Should I have done something like corp.ourdomain.com for the FQDN of the DC or can I proceed like it is? The reason I am asking is because I am getting prepared to update the MX records and I just learned it has to be a FQDN and not an IP and there is no supported method of running dcpromo on a system that is already running exchange.
Any input would be appreciated.
