What to do after migration (SBS2011 to Exchange 2013)

After migration I see in my ECP lots of "old stuff", like

- a SBS receive connector
- a SBS send connector
- a SBS e-mail policy

Is it save to delete all that stuff or do I have to keep them?

You need to review them carefully to see what they are used for.
Send Connector for example are org wide - delete it and you lose outbound email if you don't have another connector.
Same for the email address policy - that is an org wide setting - which controls the email addresses the end users get. Just because they have SBS in the name doesn't mean they aren't being used.

Receive connectors are per server, and therefore can probably be removed. Have you uninstalled the old SBS Server?

Hi Simon

Yes, the SBS is turned off for a while now and everything works fine. The reason I like to remove the old settings is because, f.e., when I create a mail rule, Exchange 2013 returnes a warning concerning SBS:

"There are Exchange servers in the organization running an older version of Microsoft Exchange which cannot evaluate the rule 'Adres van afzender bevat '****@***.com''. This rule will still be evaluated by Exchange servers running a version of Exchange that is compatible with the rule."

I realize its not a big issue but I prefer a "clean" installation.

Thx, Sander
