There is no simple reg hack for this. The details of the server are stored in AD so it needs to be removed from here.
Do you have any other exchange servers other than the one you fixed? If so, the best way to remove the server from AD is to find the server in Exchange System Manager and delete it from here. My feeling though is that this is your only exchange server in which case this may not be the solution to your problem but just check anyway........since AD stores this info and you've rebuilt Exchange server, the old server may still appear in ESM. If not, you need to delete the old exchange server from AD manually. This is very dangerous though so use caution here. I can't give you the exact answer, but I suggest you use ADSI Edit and look under the Configuration Container/Services/Microsoft Exchange and look for instances of your old server and delete them. Please remember, this is an off-the-top-of-my-head thought. Search TechNet and Knowledge base for supported resolutions to your problem. I have included this idea as I'm sure any answer MS will provide will be along these lines. -----Original Message----- From: Shauna Ryall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 19 October 2001 15:57 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Non-existant Exch Server We had a crash a while ago while running a beta of Exchange. All the data was lost and to make a long story short, while rejoining the fixed server (was a MB issue) back into the BackOffice fold, it was renamed. There are some users in the AD with beta email addresses listed using the other server. When I try to move them to the new server I get an error that, of course, it can't locate the old server and the process of moving dies. Any suggestions on a reg hack or ?? I have check with Technet but got squat and I am fairly new to Exchange. Exchange 2K as part of the BackOffice 2K server.
