    Greetings!

     

    I currently has
    Exchange 2010 on SBS 2011, and need some help. When the server was migrated
    from SBS 2003, somehow, the old server wasn't removed from the Exchange
    Organization or from the Domain correctly.

     

    I've been able to
    remove it from the domain, but don't seem able to figure out how to remove it
    from the exchange organization. All of the public folders and users mailboxes
    were replicated / moved before the old server went down.

     

    The old server is
    not available to do a uninstall of exchange on. When I run the Exchange Server
    Best Practices Analyzer, it still sees the old server.

     

    How can I go about
    removing / what would I remove in order to get that server out of AD?

     

    Any help is
    appreciated!

    At this point only using adsiedit same instructions even for sbs.

    • Click Start, run type ADSI Edit.
    • Expand the following items:
      Configuration Container
      CN=Configuration, DC=<var>Domain_Name</var>,DC=com
      CN=Services
      CN=Microsoft Exchange
      CN=<var>Your_Organization_Name</var>
      CN=Administrative Groups
      CN=<var>Your_Administrative_Group_Name</var>
    • <var></var>CN=Servers

    Locate the server right click and delete.
