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?

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.

It's a pleasant change from your typical Friday night activity of soliciting truck drivers ;) Shook From: Tim Vander Kooi [tvanderk...@expl.com] Sent: Friday, January 09, 2009 8:01 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Is it safe to remove ExchangeLegacyInterop group from AD? Gee thanks! :) I’m having the joy of trying to clean up AD after my last E2k3 box wouldn’t uninstall via the wizard, so I had to do it manually. I think I am now down to just having to decide whether or not to remove that legacy group via ADUC and the First Administrative Group via ADSI. No better way to spend a Friday night! From: Michael B.
