Hi,<br />
<br />
What should I check before deleting the exchange 5.5 admin account from our almost redundant NT domain?<br />
<br />
We have shut down the 5.5 server and are running the exch. 2003 cluster with a different exch. admin account for the past few months without any issues. I have to cleanup some old NT accounts before we shut down the NT domain and on of these accounts is the 5.5 exch. admin account.<br />
<br />
There doesn't seem to be any services, connectors, etc using the old NT 5.5 account.<br />
<br />
I have to this tomorrow so any quick help would be grateful.<br />
<br />
I just want to be sure I'm not going to screw anything up.<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
