Removing a Routing Group
I need to remove exchange from a server and have to admit my knowledge of exchange is pretty limited to say the least.
It says i need to remove a routing group and i have been looking at the following article.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa998645(EXCHG.80).aspx
The server i want to remove has exchange 2003. ALl the users have been moved onto an exchange 2007 server.
Now when i run the command it tells me i ahve two routing group connectors named the same. Now i really want to remove them both after all. But how do i find out the code for each routing group. I've seen people listing them for Admin groups but i ahven't a clue where to get this info.
Example
(FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)\Exchange

Thats good to know what if i have 2 routing groups though??
I have one between a server called Icarus and Libra (This is the one i want to kill) and one between Icarus and Cassiopeia (One i don't want to kill).
So if i ran.
remove-routinggroupconnect
Would that work.
Sorry if i'm being a tad slow and dense but Exchange isn't my area, but its a case of learning it as i go along.

you can also go to ESM (Exchange 2003 Administration console) and remove the Routing groups from there ..... you would have to Expand
Administrative Group -> Server -> Routing Groups -> Connectors -> FInd the RGC and delete it :)
