Exchange Console
Current deployment

- New DC 2012 R2 with another Additional DC installed newly.
- Two DC 2008R2 but have been shut down for testing.
Problem:
After you shutdown or demote the old PDC or Schema master Demote Domain Controller role, Microsoft Exchange Management Console fails to retrieve any Exchange information with error message “An error caused a change in the current set of Active Directory Server settings. Restart Exchange Management console.”
Cause
Microsoft Exchange management console caches the data in the user’s profile for quick access, So whenever you try to open EMC from an existing Exchange admin profile you will get the same error.
Resolution:
Navigate to the following folder and delete the Exchange Management Console file.
%userprofile%\appdata\roaming\Microsoft\MMC\Exchange Management Console
Close EMC and reopen it and you should be done.
