Did you follow those articles to move over the hidden system folders? This
is important because if you didn't, you will have problems with the
Free/Busy service, and that's the guy that keeps track of everyone's
calendar appts and schedules, such as when you create a meeting request, yo
uwill not be able to view others' availability, among other issues, and will
have to be manually re-created with a GUID gen tool. Not fun.

Did you also check ADSI Edit for any reference to the old server? Look in
the (going on memory) Config Container, MS Service, Exchange, and keep
drilling down until you find it. If you see it, remove it, that is as long
as you moved the hidden system folders first.
