Hi<br />
<br />
we need some help getting rid of an Exchange 2013 virtual server from the domain which also has a 2010 exchange server (also a VM). The 2013 one went on first but for one reason or another didn't take so we had to put on the 2010. Now we've found we can't just get rid of the 2013 because of issues with the OAB.<br />
<br />
Is there any way to move the OAB back to the 2010 so we can remove the 2013 as it is taking up valuable resources and is pretty much redundant?

Removing Exchange 2013 from Exchange 2010 Enviroment

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

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.

Microsoft Server OS

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.
