This is what I am looking for, I need to remove this server from AD completely, so there is now reference to this server at all.<br />
<br />
Should I manually remove it from the list of servers in system manager also?

I removed an exchange 2003 server last night. &nbsp;However, when I log into system manager on another server I still see it in there. &nbsp;Should I manually delete from there, or should that have been done with the un-install?<br />
<br />
Also, how do I search the AD to ensure that it does not refernce the server any more.

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Exchange

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.
