I've got a similar situation with a dead E2000 server. I have two other 2000 servers on their way to decomissioning. If I remove the dead server using the tools on the other 2000 servers, will there be leftover AD problems?

I upgraded an Exchange 2003 Org to Exchange 2007 Sp1. Before I was able to properly uninstall Exchange 2003 from the organization, the server failed. Now I have this 2003 Mailbox server hanging around that I would like to get rid of. Do I just need to mess around with ADSI Edit or is there a more amenable approach to cleaning this up?
