thanks for the replies.  the system admin is a telephone guy who got the position by being there.  I think he ask me to do it because he is afraid to do it.  I think if I do it will have to be after hours.  bill thanks too.

It is a simple process, but why did s/he not do it?  Make sure no mailboxes, public folders, or third party apps are homes to that server.   Check out the following   http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq_appxa.htm   Q152959 Q284148   Good luck   ellery july phone - 651-225-3895   -----Original Message----- From: Matt Moore [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2002 4:29 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: removing exchange 5.5 from server I'm filling in for the system admin at a company. He as ask me to remove exchange 5.5 from a server that is "no longer using exchange".  This was the first server in a win2k domain running exchange.  He has since installed it on two other servers and moved all the mailboxes.  As a first step I have disconnected the imc after watching the que for a while.  Doesn't seem to be any traffic on that machine.  Does anybody have any gottchas for me.  I don't really want to shoot my self in the foot. Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.  Oh yeah I have to do it during business hours.
