Exchange 2010
Background:
I finished an upgrade/migration from Exchange 2003 to Exchange 2010 (over a year ago).
The old Exchange server was also 1 of 3 Domain controllers in the forest.
Old Exchange was removed and the server was demoted to a member server.
I followed this excellent walk thru from Demazter
demazter walk through
I still have some errors that reference the oldEXserver, i ran ExBPA and it thinks that oldEXserver is still there.
MSExchangeTransport Event ID 5006
Cannot find route to Mailbox Server CN=oldEXserver,CN=Servers,
MSExchangeTransport Event ID 5020
The topology doesn't contain a route to Exchange 2000 Server or Exchange Server 2003 oldEXserver.ourcompany.loc
I am preparing to totally remove the oldEXserver from the domain, and would like to remove this error prior to that, if only to satisfy my curiosity as to how this happened.
Thanks in advance for any help...

Seems there is a RGC still not removed
Get-RoutingGroupConnector
If you see any RGC listed
Get-RoutingGroupConnector | Remove-RoutingGroupConnect
Also ensure that no Send connector has Exchange 2003 in SourceServer Tab in EMC

CN=Configuration,DC=ourdom
CN=Services
CN=Microsoft Exchange
CN=First Organization
CN=Administrative Groups
CN=First Administrative Group
CN=Servers
CN=TheOldExchangeServer
So i can delete CN=TheOldExchangeServer
CN=Configuration,DC=ourdom
CN=Services
CN=Microsoft Exchange
CN=First Organization
CN=Administrative Groups
CN=First Administrative Group
CN=Servers
CN=TheOldExchangeServer
So i can delete CN=TheOldExchangeServer

The RGC's were removed long ago, and the send connectors do not reference the old Exchange
server.

No its recommended to keep as if once deleted you cant ever bring back Exchange 2003 or so .... i too would say as it hasnt affected anyone till date

Run ADSI Edit, connect to a DC and using the Naming Context “Configuration” & expand following items:
Configuration Container -> CN=Services -> CN=Microsoft Exchange -> CN="Your_Organization_Name
Right-click the Exchange 2003 server object which you want to delete, and then click Delete & click Yes in every adsiedit dialog box that prompts you to confirm the deletion.
!!!WARNING only delete the 2003 server object in the CN=Servers group not the whole tree - doing so will unleash a world of hurt.
