Ok I am a bit nervous to be doing this. That last time I used adsiedit it
was under very specific instructions. I know I can kill the domain if I do
it wrong.
I found the old server under Config > ... admin group > members and deleted
it from there (that also removed it from the routing groups).
I also see it under Domain > DC=domain > MS Exchange Sys Objects. In there I
see several entries labeled CN=EventConfig_OLDSERVER,
CN=EventConfig_OLDSERVER-1, CN=EventConfig_OLDSERVER-2 ... all the way to 4
For that matter I also see entries CN-OAB Version 2, CN-OAB version 2-1,
CN=OAB version 3a, etc. and Eventonfig_ANOTHERSEVER for a server that
doesn't run Exchange at all. Those seem odd to me. Can I safely delete those
as well?

The proper method was to run uninstall of 5.5; but you can right click
the 5.5 server in 2003 ESM (wait til it timesout) and choose delete.
If it does not delete you will have to manually remove it via
adsiedit. Since you have tested shutting this 5.5 down and there are
no issues; you should be fine removing.

I have a client who in the past (before me) moved from Exchange 5.5 on one
server to 2003 on a new server. The physical server where 5.5 was running
is
still there but recently turned off (being retired). Last I checked no
Exchange services were running or installed on that server.
however in Exch 2003 there are still references to that server. It is
running in Mixed mode, the old server is listed under Servers, routing
group
members and I am having trouble creating mailboxes for existing users -
they
are not created with the Exchange Features tab (is that a 5.5
configuation,
I don't know since I never worked in 5.5)
So I am wondering of there is a proper way of removing all references to
the
old 5.5 server and move the existing Exchange 2003 into Native mode - with
the assumption that would resolved the mailbox creation issue.
I am a little out of my element. I have installed and managed Exch 2000
and
2003 servers for a few years but usually in very small environments and
usually as part of SBS.
Your help would be appreciated
Tony
