Remove replicas should be enough.<br />
If you want to be cautious though, you could just remove the replica from each folder manually. I have done that a few times to ensure things work correctly before going through the script route. <br />

I imagine I can do that from the console. If remove manually each one, Do I have to do it for each Deafult Public Folder and Sytem Folder?<br />
Would I have to remove the replicaiton partner on the new server before removing the folders from the old server, &nbsp;so they do not get replicated back?

I have an Exchange server 2007 running on Windows 2008 x64. The server has had some hardware failures and we have decided to retire it.<br />
I have installed a new server with Windows 2008, installed Exchange 2007 and joined the organization fine. Public folders are replicated as well. Mail flow is also fine.<br />
I need to uninstall Exchange 2007 from the failing server. <br />
I understand the steps I have to take for the un-installation. Only one question remains, All public folders are replicated on the new server. I can also see the folders on the one to be retired. <br />
Will the remove replicas command for Public Folders on the old server be enough to continue with the un-installation of the server?<br />
