Hello,<br />
<br />
We are in the process of migrating from an SBS 2008 server to a Windows 2012R2 Domain with a separate Windows 2012R2 handling Exchange 2013.<br />
<br />
All Exchange migration steps have been completed. &nbsp;All mailboxes are now on the Exchange 2013 server. &nbsp;Send/Receive connectors are on the Exchange 2013 which is now fully handling mail flow.<br />
<br />
I am now ready to start removal of Exchange 2007 from the SBS 2008 server. &nbsp;Following that, I will migrate the Active Directory roles prior to shutting it down permanently.<br />
<br />
My question is that. &nbsp;Being that this is an SBS 2008, are there any other special processes that I need to be aware of before uninstalling Exchange 2007? Also, are there any other concerns or potential issues I should be prepared for, or should this behave like a normal Windows 2008 server running Exchange 2007? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Any suggestions or recommendations would be appreciated.<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.<br />
<br />
