Exchange server 2003 dead

I recently lost an exchange server due to a motherboard problem. The OS had limited activations(server 2003) and I wasn't able to re-activate it after replacing the motherboard. I built another exchange 2003 server on Windows server 2003 ent. ed volume license this time. I also have a domain controller running ad on server 2003 as well. I made the new exchange server a backup domain controller. I swear I've cleaned up all remnants of the dead server and have the new server up and running, but I'm having problems. I tried to add my account in Outlook 2003 on my laptop, but get errors trying to check my name. The message I get is the name could not be resolved. the name could not be matched to a name in the address list . Any ideas what I missed? Is there a utility I can use to check my setup?

"It is a pity that you didn't allow 2003 to activate again"

This was a limited activation version of server 2003, I had no choice in the matter, it had nothing to do with my allowing anything and there couldn't be a manual activation, I did call microsoft and there was nothing they could do. Go ahead and close this question, and please refund my points.
