Hi Folks,
Here's my situation and I am hoping you can help.
DC1
Windows Server 2003
Exchange 2003
DNS
DC2
Windows Server 2003
DC3
Windows Server 2008 R2
DNS
Due to aging equipment, I need to remove Exchange 2003 from DC1 and demote it to a member server The machine will then be decomissioned. The Exchange data has been exported from DC1 and imported into Office365, and the Exchange services
are not currently running. The FSMO roles have been moved off from DC1 to DC3. All clients and server now use DC3 for DNS.
I have heard of all sorts of horror stories related to removing Exchange from a DC. Based on my situation, can anyone tell me what I need to do to remove Exchange 2003 so that I can demote this DC. The Exchange store has been shutdown for sometime know, but I need to get this machine off our network.
Any help would be appreciated. I apologize if this is posted in the wrong forum.
Thanks
