In the process of reorganizing our Exchange environment, we need to remove a site from the organization. This site has one server which is a bridgehead .
I have read the directions for removing the first server (Server X) in a site but they get a little fuzzy when it is the first and only server in a site. I have exmerged out all the mailboxes and deleted all the distribution lists. But what do I about removing Public Folders - There are 2 homed on Server X. Contents 0-bytes, 0 items but they are seen in the public folder hierarchy on Server Y. Apparently, you can't remove them from the Information store on this server because there is only one instance of them. Is there anything else I need to do? The other gotchas in the queue article seem to be OAB, F&B, Forms, and GWART - all this seems to apply only if there are mutiple servers in the site. So this seems to take me to the second article - How to Delete a SErver from Site. This tells me to remove mail connectors. Question - When I remove my mail connector is this going to remove my Directory replication connector? Then I guess I run the consistency checker on the other servers in the other sites. Does this sound right? Grateful for any insight or article that talk about removing first and only server in a site and retiring a site.
