Remove Exchange 2013 CAS roles when server is already gone?
Is there a way to remove CAS roles and anything else when the server is already gone?
I have three servers EX1, EX2 and EX3. How can I remove EX2?
Here is what I receive with one PowerShell command.
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Get-Au
Name Server InternalUrl
---- ------ -----------
Autodiscover (Default Web Site) EX1
The task wasn't able to connect to IIS on the server 'EX2.example.local'. Make sure that the server exists and
can be reached from this computer: The RPC server is unavailable.
+ CategoryInfo : ReadError: (EX2\Autodiscover (Default Web Site):ADObjectId) [Get-AutodiscoverVirtualDi
ctory], IISNotReachableException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : [Server=EX1,RequestId=351d
M] [FailureCategory=Cmdlet-II
ks.GetAutodiscoverVirtualD
+ PSComputerName : ex1.example.local
Autodiscover (Default Web Site) EX3
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>

"The solutions and answers provided on Experts Exchange have been extremely helpful to me over the last few years. I wear a lot of hats - Developer, Database Administrator, Help Desk, etc., so I know a lot of things but not a lot about one thing. Experts Exchange gives me answers from people who do know a lot about one thing, in a easy to use platform." -Todd S.

Yes, but it has to be done in ADSIEdit. https://www.solvps.com/blog/how-to-force-uninstall-remove-exchange-server-2013-adsi-edit/ provides instructions on how to do it.

I only want to remove EX2, not all of Exchange. If I can leave it in the config, then I am happy to do so.
Derp. Sorry. Same place in ADSIEdit, go to Services\Microsoft Exchange\<Organization>\Ad
You can remove the Server from ADSIEDIT but just remember this can cause some other issues even later on so best practice would be recover the Server
