Disable and Update DNS/ Group Policy for Exchange in SBS 2008 to move to 365
I have a 2008 SBS Server that was running exchange for mail services to the business. We have purchased office 365 and moved everything to 365, however I have an issue with all the client systems still trying to automatically configure Outlook for use with the local exchange server we have discontinued. The only way I can get them to connect is to change DNS on the machine to google dns for example, restart the computer, setup outlook in 365, then change dns back... But even so there are glitches and some computer keep asking for the passwords. I have disabled all the exchange services on the server, but it seems like there are some additional things I need to do to clean up Group Policy and DNS. Does anyone have a checklist for this or experience in doing so?

Ok heres what I did to disable auto discover
Open EMS
Run the following cmdlet Get-ClientAccessServer
Set-ClientAccessServer -Identity "CASxx" -AutoDiscoverServiceIntern
Where "CASxx" is the name of the CAS server that was discovered in step 2

I guess I just need to research uninstalling Exchange from SBS, I tried earlier, but received messages about not being able to delete if there are any mailboxes. Do I just need to go through and delete all mailboxes? Something about a shared address book too in the public storage box.
