Wait for all MAPI clients for the mailboxes you moved to have the opportunity to log into their mailboxes at least once so their profile will be automatically changed to the new server. If you remove the other one first, the client can't find the server. If you leave the server up, directory services makes the adjustment.
Sounds like you have everything under control.

We are about to upgrade one of the servers (Server1) to Windows 2000, Exchange 5.5 and would like to eliminate the other (Server 2) altogether. I followed the procedures in Q189286 XADM: How to Delete a Server from a Site. Specifically, I have gone through all public folders and made sure that they have Server 1 as the home server. I have removed the replication from Server2. I have also moved all mailboxes off Server2 onto Server1. Tonight I am going to go through and make sure that all distribution lists show Server1 as the expansion server. Are there any other steps I should take before removing Server 2 from the site? Besides backup of course? List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm
