Remove Exchange Admin Group

I recently added an new Exchange 2007 server on an existing network with Exchange 2003.  After putting it on the network I moved a few mailboxes to the 2007 box.  I ran into some problems with the 2007 server so I took it off the network and reinstalled Exchange 2003 onto it.  Now I have and Exchange Administraive Group with the old 2007 server showing up in System Manger and I need to delete it but it will not let me.  It gives me the error stating that there are still items in it.  Any ideas on how to remove this from the admin group?

So where do I get those tools and how do I use them?  I'm new to Exchange.

Thanks
LDP is on any server that has Exchange (if the proper procedure was followed to install it) or any DC. ADSIEdit is downloading from microsoft.com
If you are new, do you have someone else on site who is familiar with AD and its tools? You will be directly editing AD, there ARE NO RECOURSES IF YOU DELETE THE WRONG THING!
Well, I'm not totally new to it.  I will be the one responsible for fixing this issue.  I am somewhat familiar with AD and System Manager.  If you walk me through it I will be able to do it.
Well I figured it out using adsiedit.msc and deleted the admin group.  Thanks for your help!!  You definitely pointed me in the right direction and I learned a thing or two.  Thanks.
