eDirectory and GroupWise Best Practices

Hello

We have a few NetWare 6.5 servers and are removing one of the servers that runs GroupWise 6.5. Is there anything other than removing the directory with DSREPAIR and deleting the GroupWise objects in ConsoleOne that should be done to have this server and GroupWise domain/post office removed cleanly from the tree?
Also, this GroupWise domain was showing as 'Primary' when checking the links to our other GroupWise domain. Will the remaining domain be changed to primary automatically or should something be done manually? - I'm not really sure what this means. (All accounts on the domain being removed have been moved to the other active domain.)

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for the reply.
I do see that option in the menu, but it is greyed-out - the only options available under System Maintenance are the first 5 - Validate, Recover, Rebuild, Reclaim, and Rebuild Indexes. The bottom 5 options are all greyed-out (Sync Primary, Convert Secondary to Primary, Release, Merge, and Replace) Am I missing a step somewhere?
I did check for pending operations and there are none.

Thanks

I also tried connecting to the existing Primary domain and the same options are greyed-out in that menu.

Please disregard - I found this same situation about the menus greyed-out in a comment in the Novell Doc. (You have to connect to the existing Primary domain first and then select the option on the Secondary)

Thanks for your help - much appreciated.

Could you give me a brief rundown of the normal procedures for removing a server from the tree that you mentioned above? I think I'm all set on the GroupWise side now.
