I migrated from Exchange 2000 to a new sever running Exchange 2003 on a
Windows Small Business Server 2003. I used the "swing" migration method as
outlined in Microsft Article 821896. For the most part everything worked
well. However, I am not able to delete the old server from the Exchange
Management console. At first I did not think this way a problem as e-mail
seemed to be working fine. But, over time, I have realized that e-mail is
sometimes routed to the old server even though it no longer exists. I can
see it in the queue of the new server.
Although the older server is still listed in the Exchange Management
Console, I get a communication error when I click on it. It indcates the
information store cannot be found - which is true. The store is history.
But when I right click on it, it does not allow me to delete it. I do not
get an error when I try to delete it.
I'm assuming this is a registry issue. I need to delete the old server from
Exchange somehow. It is already gone from Active Directory. It is no longer
on the network. Thanks.
