In this circumstance you would have to use ADUC to remove the servers. There is a Technet article describing the process, and it is pretty straight forward, though I do not remember the KB article number. Give a search and you should be able to find it though.
-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Stephen Reboulet Sent: Friday, September 21, 2007 8:41 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: The servers that wouldn't die We have 3 Exchange servers that continue to appear in Exchange System Manager that no longer exist on our network. We've removed them some months ago: 1 was due to hardware failure, the other 2 were removed by uninstalling Exchange and then removing them from the domain. Despite this, they appear in the list on ESM. I've tried to delete/remove server from ESM, but get the error message: "One or more users currently use a mailbox store on this server. These users must be moved to a mailbox store on a different server or be mail disabled before uninstalling this server" Unfortunately it doesn't tell me what users are on this non-existent server. Anyone have any ideas? We're running Exchange 2003 Thanks. _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Web Interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=exchange To subscribe: http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
