Hi all,

I am in the process of (finally) getting our AD upgraded to Windows 2003,
and in doing so I am looking at Replication Monitor.

I have noticed that our Exchange 2000 server shows up in the "Servers
available to monitor" dialog. When we upgraded our Exchange 5.5 server to
Exchange 2000 (quite some time ago), we had configured the AD connector,
but
have long since removed any associations and the service has been
disabled. I
am assuming that the Exchange server is showing up as a result of this old
AD
connecor relationship, but I am not sure how to clean this up.

I have setup a lab environment to test the upgrade process from Windows
2000
AD to Windows 2003 AD (including Windows 2000 DC's, Exchange 2000 Server,
etc). In this environment, I do not see the Exchange Server listed in the
Replication Monitor tool - but then the lab environment was a clean
install...

Any ideas on the best way to clean this up - or will it have any impact on
our upgrade path at all?

Thanks,

David
