KB 152959 covers removing the first Exchange 5.5 server in an Exchange 5.5 site, and not to the situation you describe. Actually, admins ought to follow it when they delete any server because the things covered in the article can be changed at any time after the "first server" is installed.
KB 822450 is the one you want to follow, and you want to follow the other articles referenced in that article.

I want to get rid of my 5.5 server which was my first Exchange server (it's also the last 5.5 server). I found KB152959 "XADM: How to Remove the First Exchange Server in a Site." Do I need to worry about this or is this just for if removing the first 5.5 server in a site doesn't have anything newer than 5.5? Perhaps I all I need to do is KB822450 "How to remove the last Exchange 5.5 computer from an Exchange Server 2003 administrative group"? If I turn off the 5.5 server everything seems to work OK. Thanks for your help.
