A while ago we had some severe issues with an email server that was not possible to restore (we had moved all mailbox data off it anyway) therefore it was removed from the domain after new exchange servers built. <br />
<br />
All nice and simple... except the old server is still showing up under the server configuration on the Exchange Management Console in the new environment and despite my best intentions are not able to remove it!<br />
<br />
Can anyone advise how to remove the old server from EMC?<br />
<br />
Select it just brings up 'Cannot connect to the Microsoft Information Store...' Obviously the database also needs deleting.<br />
<br />
Any help appreciated. Trying to tidy up the Exchange environment!<br />
