Subject: RE: "Error" when removing last Exchange 5.5 server
Thanks for your reply. See below.
Jim, since you don't say so, I have to ask: did you faithfully follow
the KB article on removing the last Exch 5.5 Server
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822450 and the linked articles on how
to switch Internet Connectors, how to remove the first Exch server,
how to remove 5.5 from an org, etc.
Yes, I had gone through that stuff. 152959 (referenced by 822450) seems
to apply to removing the first Exchange 5.5 server when other 5.5
servers still exist. My first Exchange 5.5 server is also the last 5.5
so, I don't think some of that stuff applies. However, OABs and
Schedule+ are replicated, public folders are gone, connectors have been
moved and routing is set as they suggest.
If my poor memory does not fail me, if you follow the outlined
procedures, you do not need to move either System Attendant of
Free/Busy mailboxes, but just to be on the safe side, when you're at
the point of no return you ought to shut down the 5.5 for a couple of
weeks instead of deleting it.
I've done that. It's been shut down for over 2 months with no adverse
affects that I know of.
As for the third mailbox, I quote Jim Kennedy:
You have some mail enabled users that never got mailboxes. They never
logged in and never got any email. Maybe some service accounts you
created and copied and didn't notice the exchange tab as you went
along.....
In ADUC add the Exchange Mailbox store to the view and you will find
them.
Right click them and remove Exchange attributes.
I haven't been able to find how to add the Exchange Mailbox store to the
view in Active Directory Users and Computers. Could you clue me in?
I'm a rookie.
Thanks for your help.

Subject: "Error" when removing last Exchange 5.5 server
I'm about ready to remove my last Exchange 5.5 server. When I go to
delete the server it gives me a message
There are 3 mailboxes and gateways on this server. All these gateways
will be deleted. All mailboxes and their contents will also be
deleted.
You can use the move mailbox command on the tools menu to move
mailboxes
to a different server.
Since this step is not reversible, I'm a bit frightened to move
forward.
Two mailboxes that are left are
Microsoft Schedule+ Free/Busy Connector (EXCHANGE)
System Attendant
I'm not sure what the third mailbox or gateway is that it's talking
about. The only connector that exists in the 2003 Exchange System
Manager is "Internet Mail SMTP connector" and that is on a 2003
server.
The Exchange 5.5 Administrator doesn't show any connectors other than
"Internet Mail SMTP connector" either.
Do I need to migrate these two mailboxes? What is the third mailbox
or
gateway that I will be deleting when I delete the 5.5 server? Will I
experience negative results if I proceed with removing the 5.5 server?
Thanks for your help.
Curt
