Emails stuck in Q
Hey guys -
I have an issue. I lose as exchange 2000 email server (Public folder store server) that held the public folder store replica of my mail enabled public folders (It was the first server in the enviroment).Even though I have a replica of the public folder store on another server which is up and runining and all users are pointing to my issues are as follows.
1. Email coming from the outside doesnt go into the mail enabled public folder until I remove the replica from the dead server.
2. I have about 4000 messages waiting to go to the older dead server in an SMTP queue...I would like to retreive all those messages , i can open them up with outlook express but I dont know how to redirect the queue so they go through another server to the intended recepients.
This server is not the routing group master or anything so I dont know what is going on. any help will be appreciated.
thanks !

You need to follow as many of them as you can - removing the replicas etc.
I would NOT advise hacking around in adsiedit.
If the server is still listed in ESM, then deleting it from there will remove many of the properties, but the replicas have to be removed yourself - the process doesn't remove them. It will then take a good couple of hours for those changes to replicate out of the database.

If a server doesnt exist its impossible to delete it of ESM...that is my experience.

Does anyone have any thoughts on how to remove an Exchange 2000 server that doesnt exist from an Exchange ORG ? I know of a way to remove it using the ADSI EDit utlity...
Can I / Should I delete this server from the members in the routing group so no email gets routed to it ?
any thoughts will be appreciated.
