what you can do is set up s cnmae recod in dns to point the old server name to the new server name.
The problem isn't the DNS name, it's the Distinguished name, and probably the x400 name - the Organisation and container names are all screwed up now, so pointing the DNS back isn't going to help. The names are wrong on all machines bar the Ex5.5 one...

Please ask "I also would like to know how to setup up RPC-HTTP." in another Q - you're likely to get a better response, and it's not fair on those of us helping this Q.
deleting profiles is dead simple.
Start > Control Panel > Mail
Show Profiles
Delete ALL that you see.
You need to do this for each user that logs in to the workstation. It's a pain, but, sadly that's what you're up against now.
When a user logs in next, they will be prompted to enter their details - server name and username.
They will lose Signatures, unless you're running OL2003, which I think saves them on the server, and some customisations such as views and layouts. All Messages are kept, all contacts are kept. That's it, really...

Just remove the OUTLOOOK PROFILE
there is no need to touch the desktop, their windows account or anything.
just removing the exchange server option from their outlook profile will not help, as the profile will still have bad info in it.

i still see smtp in my queues for the old server How can i fix this. THAX
again, it's a legacy of the old server. Those messages will need to be cleared, then resent by the users.
I think my question fixed the problem. I have ran into this problem many times
The distinguished name of every user changes when you change to AD, as the whole ORG/OU structure changes, so the clients cannot be resolved by using the cached lookups. I've already said that in this thread...
Changing a cname will only help when all you have done is move from one 2000/2003 server to another.
That, coupled with the fact that Paul continued with the Q after your comment makes it extremely unlikely that a cname will fix the error for him.
Sorry, but I have to disagree. A Moderator will make the final decision in 4 days.
