How do you get and fix the error - Microsoft Exchange System Attendant failed to add the local computer as a member of the DS group object 'cn=Exchange Domain Servers,cn=Users

Another recent blunder when working on the "I Wonder what happens if...." type scenarios.  What did I do, I moved the SBS machine in "Active Directory Users and Computers" from the "Domain Controllers" OU to the "SBS Servers" OU.

The result was the following error in Exchange - move it back and all is happy :-)
