How to remove old Exchange 2007 server from Exchange Org?
Hi
We recently replaced our Exchange 2007 Hub / CAS (EXCHHUBCAS1) server with a new server (EXCHHUBCAS). The old server has now been re-used but unfortunately Exchange 2007 wasn't removed before the server was rebuilt and the computer account has been deleted from AD. We therefore have two HUB / CAS servers in our Exchange Org, the old and the new. Is there a way to remove the old server from the Exchange org? Out of interest when MS hopefully release a service pack for Server 2008 r2 which makes the OS compatible with Exchange 2007 we will build a new Hub / CAS server on this OS to replace the current one. This new server will have the name of the original Hub / CAS server (EXCHHUBCAS1) and the same IP address. Could I run setup on this new server with the RecoverServer switch? If so would this mean that I don't need to worry about the old server being present in the Exchange org until we do he upgrade?
Thanks
Andrew

Thanks Akhater. Just for clarification, will this remove the server from the EMC & the exchange org?
