OK so far so good. Walked in this morning to some errors - seems my OAB had randomly set the generation server name to "Public Folder Database" rather than the name of the 2010 server (which it has been for weeks). So I changed that, regenerated OAB, restarted FDS which then bitched about missing group metrics and sure enough my \\server\groupmetrics<file:///\\server\groupmetrics> share, which was there, had mysteriously disappeared. Restarting the Exchange Host Service recreated that though. Are these little niggles normal/expected?! The old boxes are still switched off.

Make a good backup, it's the uninstall of Exchange that actually removes the appropriate AD settings...just follow the the documentation...

I'm comfortable with having gotten all the mailboxes/PF instances off the servers. It's more that nagging paranoia about anything floating about in the schema/adsi, plus all those fun things where even in Exchange 2010 it depends on legacy items remaining (don't delete your empty Admnistrative Groups etc.).

Right now in theory everything is done barring uninstalling the two old Exchange boxes. They're switched off right now and I plan on leaving them a day or so just to be sure the world is still turning. I feel like I should be apologising for being overly cautious but you know the drill, small changes can = mob + pitchforks! Paul From: Michael B.

I'd appreciate a bit of a sanity check please. I've gone through all the steps that I know of to de-configure my Exchange 2003 servers prior to removing them. I've not yet removed the mailbox databases and Public Folder database though they are empty (no mailboxes, no PF instances). I was planning next on shutting down the 2 old servers (FE and BE) for a few days to ensure nothing breaks, then bring them back up, remove the RGC's and uninstall - sound sensible? Also, prior to doing this should I follow the steps in this article: http://exchangeserverpro.com/moving-the-public-folder-hierarchy-during-an-exchange-2007-migration I'm a bit unclear if there are any implications with doing this whilst the 2003 servers still have their PF databases.
