If the server is gone why not just delete the server name from the 2003 organization? If a server died that needs to come back up then you do the process below.

This is the first part of my plan and I want to check ith you guys if am I forgetting of something: 1. Fire up a virtual machine install Exch2003 with the disaster recovery option pointing to one dead server 2. Fully patch it. 3. Uninstall Exch2003 using its own setup procedure. 4. monitor queues and public folders replication for possible issues. 5. In case of problems, go ADSIEdit style and clean the left overs/repoint any PFs replication. 6. Repeat the process on the next dead server. Any comments/advice/hints/tips/gotchas is appreciated!
