But the above should work. You should be able to just delete the server in ESM.

Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Remove Exchange Store
Thank you for the URL's. I will definitely give them a review. Removing an Exchange server that was not gracefully is exactly what I need to do. To answer your question, no, I do not have 2 Exchange servers with the same name on the same domain. But I did have 2 Exchange servers on the new domain that the data was being transferred to. Each server had its own name. One server was named NEWEXCHANGE (temp server) and the other EXCHSVR2 (migrated server). The server being migrated was copied to the temp server and then taken offline. The temp server then had some clean up work performed on it. After the clean up work was done, the temp server was reinstalled but never removed from the new domain. I guess to fully understand, if still confusing, it would be one of those things that you just had to be here for.

Are you saying you have 2 Exchange servers with the SAME NAME in the same domain (exchange org). And, you now want to remove one of them? On this, I'm confused. However, if you are just looking for pointers on removing an Exchange server that was not gracefully retired, try these: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307917 and http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;q260378 Sincerely, Dèjì Akómöláfé, MCSE MCSA MCP+I Microsoft MVP - Directory Services www.readymaids.com - we know IT www.akomolafe.com Do you now realize that Today is the Tomorrow you were worried about Yesterday? -anon ________________________________ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Edwin Sent: Wed 6/16/2004 4:53 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ActiveDir] Remove Exchange Store I will try to explain this as best as I can. We were in the process of migrating an Exchange server from one domain to another. We put up a temporary Exchange server where we could make some required changes without affecting the original Exchange server. This would also be our back out plan in the event of some type of failure. Once our work was done on this "temporary server" we began migrating the data again to a new Exchange Server. For internal configuration reasons, the name of the Exchange server was preserved when moving to the new domain which is why the "temporary server" could not be used. (Explaining this part of the story would be too difficult and only add to the confusion.) Now that everything is all said and done, the temporary Exchange server is no longer needed. Everything went well during the migration and we are all pleased with the results. So what is the problem? After the migration was complete we decided to use the temporary Exchange server for another purpose. The problem is that we forgot to remove the temporary exchange server from the new domain. Therefore we have two Exchange servers configured in Active Directory, but one of them that is not valid. My question is, how can I remove the temporary Exchange Server within the new domain that is no longer in existence without affecting any of our current settings? Thank you all in advance for your replies.
