Hopefully there is a solution to this.
I am converting an organization from Windows 2003 standard server and Exchange 2003. The organization has 2 DCs in the same domain, 1 exchange controller.
I ran the SBS 2011 Prep tool and cleaned up all the errors found except one: Found an offline domain controller present in Active Directory. Server: br-mail.baker-rock.local
From the SourceTool.log:
