Make sure the OAB and any public folders are migrated off of the old server as well. Make sure it isnt involved in sending and receiving of mail, like Michael said. The just go ahead and uninstall exchange. ----- Original Message ----- From: Michael B.

just make sure that it isn't being used for the ingress or egress of email. (look at message tracking logs, send-connectors, and receive-connectors) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: Russ Patterson [rus...@gmail.com] Sent: Thursday, October 22, 2009 4:22 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Getting ready to retire an E2k7 server Hi All - We're getting ready to retire what was the first E2k7 server in our org. It was installed as a MBox, Hub and CAS server. Later, we added a dedicated CAS server that actually served up OWA. POP & IMAP, but this machine still has all roles installed. We're retiring it because it was our first Windows 2k8 production server, and we made the C: partition too small. We will replace it with our first W2k8R2 E2010 machine:) I'm emailing the group to see if anyone has any tips/suggestions about removing what was the first CAS server in an org - even tho' it's not used as a primary CAS server. Just wanting to be as prepared as possible - Thanks all!
