RE: old 5.5 servers



I removed the two old 5.5 srver following the steps outlined in the following
article you had provided http://support.microsoft.com/?id=328668. This
worked great. The two servers no longer appear in system manger.

I uncovered a few errors now. In exchange systems manger when I go to the
folders group i get a error message. The message is exchnage system nager

the operation completed successfuly.
facility: win32
ID no: c00700000
Exchange system manger.

Also when i run exchange best practices analyser I get a critical error
reagrding the site server folder deleted. It appears the public information
store appears to be on one of the old delted 5.5 servers which i'm not sure
how this happened since it hasn't been running in years.

Also I'm seeing two active directory connector that list one of the old 5.5
servers as the exchange server. Should I delete these.
