No AGs actually get removed. And that is correct, nothing is harmed by them being present. Regards, Michael B.

Excellent! Thank you very much!!! Am I correct in understanding that The First Administrative Group gets left in place and has to be manually removed via the console (if desired) due to the reliance on it by Outlook pre-2007? Although theoretically it does no harm to have it there even when fully upgraded to Outlook 2007. TVK -----Original Message----- From: Michael B.

It gets removed if you do it all "cleanly". Regards, Michael B.

LOL...Sounds like a plan. I found a number of articles that said what it is and why it's there (although it is kind of self-descriptive), but not a single article that says if you can remove it after getting rid of all your legacy Exchange servers. Anyone out there who has put all their Exchange 2003 servers to rest that can tell me if this group still exists after uninstalling the last E2k3 server?

The ExchangeLegacyInterop group contains Exchange 2003 or Exchange 2000 bridgehead servers. A bridgehead server is added to this group when the first Exchange 2007 Hub Transport server is installed. >From here http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb288907.aspx I would guess if you haven't any bridgeheads you should be good. But if things go afoul, blame MBS. -troy -----Original Message----- From: Tim Vander Kooi [mailto:tvanderk...@expl.com] Sent: Friday, January 09, 2009 4:20 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Is it safe to remove ExchangeLegacyInterop group from AD? If you have no Exchange 2000/2003 servers in a domain, is it safe to remove the ExchangeLegacyInterop group from ADUC?
