I want to eliminate exchange from AD. &nbsp;That is my goal here. &nbsp;I want a clean AD with no exchange objects. &nbsp;I want to migrate old AD accounts with permissions to a non-sbs server. &nbsp;I will be taking the SBS off the network. &nbsp;As I said we are not hosting exchange in our environment. &nbsp;I just want those objects removed, and have a clean slate.<br />
<br />
Thanks guys!!! :)

Hi all and thanks for any insight you can give me here.<br />
<br />
My company's dc's were initially installed with SBS and there is a rogue copy of exchange on it that cannot be removed.<br />
<br />
We do not host exchange in house.<br />
<br />
What I want to do is rebuild the domain from scratch, and just use ADMT to migrate the users and permissions. &nbsp;Will this work? &nbsp;Or will the exchange objects be moved as well?<br />
<br />
Just checking before I shoot myself in the foot.<br />
<br />
Thanks again everyone.<br />

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.

Active Directory

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

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.
