Re: Question regarding E2k3 Migration Rollback

Thank you for your response. I will examine the articles you cited when I
return to work in the morning. If it is not necessary to remove the objects
and groups, I would prefer not to. I just wasn't sure since it is not
mentioned either way in any of the articles I read. I performed this
rollback after speaking with a Microsoft representative. He mentioned that I
would need to run forestprep and domainprep again. Is this correct? After
successfully completing the roll back, I believe that I am ready to re-do the
installation again.

Dear Dlove,

This article describes how to roll back the upgrade operation to a point
before Active Directory Connector (ADC) was installed and configured. and
hence the 3 groups you are talking about are creating by running exchange
setup with "/Domainprep" switch, so this article does not cover this part.
so i advice you not to delete this part since your active directory was
already extended with Exchange server 2003 attributes and your domain was
extended and prepared for the Exchange server 2003 installation.

if you want to COMPLETELY remove Exchange organization from your Active
Directory by forcing the remove of Exchange Organization from your active
directory , then here are some good links:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/830185/en-us
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/273478/en-us

so you need to decide whether you want to completely remove exchange server
from active directory or re-do the upgrade from 5.5 to 2003.

please let me know if my post helped you in clearing out your issue, if yes
, please rate this post so others can get the benefit from it.

sfter following MS article kb839356 successfully to roll back a E2k3
migration I was wondering if I Should delete the 3 Exchange groups which
were
created in AD? It is not mentioned in the articles I read. I have the
same
question regarding the Microsoft Exchange System Object (seen in advanced
features). Is there any problem in deleting these items or am I okay to
proceed with a re-installation leaving them intact?

Thanks in advance for the help.
