I did it the other way, I'm the Exchange admin who also does phones!  I suppose they are both forms of communication.  In our office, anything more complex than paper and pencils must be the IT department's responsibility.  ( Thinks"I've broken my chair, I must call the IT department" end thinks  (just a little Goons type humour for those not old enough to remember them))

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.

Frankly, I think this is a bad move especially if you are a "fill-in" and have not done it before. 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.

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.
