Remove exchange co-existance
I'm running OCS 9.0.4.2 configured to co-exist with exchange. I,am now trying to remove exchange from the system. My ISP controls my MX record all inbound email goes to my ISP who then forwards it to us. These are the step I think I need to do to get exchange out of the picture but I cannot find any docs that show this process. So any comments, suggestion, help would be greatly appreciated.
Step 1. Change my internal mx record to point to OCS not exchange
Step 2. Change my smtp_in as follows.
2.1 remove Recipient Rewriting Rules.
2.2 remove exchange reference in local domains.
Step 3. Change my smtp_out ( this is where I have no idea what to change I think this is how it should be.)
3.1 remove exchange reference in local domains
3.2 change SMTP Relay ( now it points to my exchange server) I don't know what to change it to ( Can I point it to my ISP and have the ISP do all the lookups and queuing).
Again any and all help is appreciated.
Sorry for taking so long to reply, other items came up that rank higher then this migration.
I ran the Test-OutlookWebServices CMD and got this result:
[PS] C:\Windows\system32> Test-OutlookWebServices
Source ServiceEndpoint
Scenario Result Latency
(MS)
EXCHANGE13.company.local exchange10.company.local Autodiscover: Outlook Provider Failure 229
EXCHANGE13.company.local
Exchange Web Services Skipped 0
EXCHANGE13.company.local

I
am currently thinking that this may be the error. Is there a way to
change the first failing result to the hostname of the
exchange13.company.local without breaking the current settings for the
exchange10.company.local autodiscover?

I'm trying to remove Exchange 2007 from an SBS 2008 server
(Server 2008 Standard FE). My ultimate goal is to completely remove the SBS 2008 Server from the network environment.
We have an Exchange 2010 Coexistence Scenario and Mailboxes/Public Folders/etc have been moved over to the 2010 mail server, on Server 2008 R2.
I have moved all Shares, FSMO roles, DHCP, DNS, etc over to their respective servers. We have two full blown DC's in the environment.
I'm ready to remove Exchange 2007 from SBS 2008 and DCPROMO the server. I can NOT seem to find a TechNet article that shows me how
to proceed in this kind of scenario. I am trying to use the TechNet article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd728003(v=ws.10).aspx
This article references Disabling Mailboxes, Removing OAB, Removing Public Folder Databases, then uninstalling Exchange using the Setup Wizard.
When I go to Disable Mailboxes I get the following error:
Microsoft Exchange Error
Action 'Disable' could not be performed on object 'Username (edited)'.
Username (edited)
Failed
Error:
Object cannot be saved because its ExchangeVersion property is 0.10 (14.0.100.0), which is not supported by the current version 0.1 (8.0.535.0). You will need a later version of Exchange.
OK
I really don't see why I need to Disable Mailboxes, Remove OAB and Public Folder Databases since they have been moved to 2010. I just want
to remove Exchange 2007 and DCPROMO this server (actually I just want to remove any lingering Exchange AD Objects referring to the SBS 2008 Server, using the easiest and cleanest method possible).
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks!Hi,
Based on your description, it seems that you are in a migration process (migrate SBS 2008 to Windows Server
2008 R2). Now, you want to remove Exchange Server and demote server. If anything I misunderstand, please don’t hesitate to let me know.
On current situation, please refer to following articles and check if can help you.

Removing Exchange 2010 from AD
Hi
We have moved all our mail into Office 365 Exchange. We still need to run AD locally and will keep the DC's I need to shutdown the Exchange server, however if I do I need to understand how this may effect the Active Directory in the respect of setting
up users etc. I guess I am guessing that AD will complain that it can not find the Exchange Server when we add or remove users fro the AD?
Kind regardsHi,
As far as I know, after upgrading to on-premise Exchange server and working well for a period of time in coexistence, we can remove the legacy Exchange server.
The Exchange users in AD still have mailbox since we move mailboxes to new server. In this case, it doesn’t have any difference through AD.
For more information about removing Exchange 2010, you can refer to the following article:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee332361(v=exchg.141).aspx
However, since the issue is related to Exchange online, I recommend you ask for help on our Exchange online forum:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/msonline/en-us/home?forum=onlineservicesexchange
If you have any question, please feel free to let me know.

Demoting and Removing Exchange 2007 Server
Oh, I mistakenly saw 2003, and I thought you were removing Exchange 2003. My bad.
Run the uninstaller on the old system. It will take care of the rest. It will probably error out and give you reasons, clean up the reasons and run the uninstaller again. Once it's uninstalled properly, then you can power off the server and everything should be good. Don't forget your send connectors. I forgot that in my travels once.At one of our locations we recently migrated all exchange mailboxes to a new Exchange 2007 on new OS platform, moving away from Server 2003. Everything to my knowledge has been migrated, users should be all connecting to new server, all connector headends have been updated, etc. As a test, I shutdown the old Exchange server (without uninstalling) but we ran into issues that day with Outlook constantly (every 5-10 minutes) asking for the user's password, slow loading of folder data, etc.; reboots/application restarts did not resolve. We turned the old Exchange server back on and all is now well. My theory is this is due to the schema still containing info about the old Exchange server. If I uninstall Exchange completely, thus removing it form schema, could I expect to have this issue resolved? Obviously I only get one chance on this, so...

Removing Exchange 2003 form a DC
Hi Folks,
Here's my situation and I am hoping you can help.
DC1
Windows Server 2003
Exchange 2003
DNS
DC2
Windows Server 2003
DC3
Windows Server 2008 R2
DNS
Due to aging equipment, I need to remove Exchange 2003 from DC1 and demote it to a member server The machine will then be decomissioned. The Exchange data has been exported from DC1 and imported into Office365, and the Exchange services
are not currently running. The FSMO roles have been moved off from DC1 to DC3. All clients and server now use DC3 for DNS.
I have heard of all sorts of horror stories related to removing Exchange from a DC. Based on my situation, can anyone tell me what I need to do to remove Exchange 2003 so that I can demote this DC. The Exchange store has been shutdown for sometime know,
but I need to get this machine off our network.
Any help would be appreciated. I apologize if this is posted in the wrong forum.
ThanksHi,
It is not supported to demote a DC running Exchange Server, so I recommend you follow the steps below to uninstall the Exchange 2003 at first.
1. Log on to the server from which you want to uninstall Exchange 2003.
2. Open Control Panel, and then click Add or Remove Programs.
3. In Add or Remove Programs, select Microsoft Exchange, and then click Change/Remove.
4. On the Welcome to the Microsoft Exchange Installation Wizard page, click Next.
5. On the Component Selection page, in the Action column, use the drop-down arrows to select Remove, and then click Next.
6. On the Installation Summary page, verify that the Action column is set to Remove, and then click Next.
7. On the Completing the Microsoft Exchange Installation Wizard page, click Finish.
When you uninstall the Exchange 2003 server successfully, you can demote the DC1 to a member server.
Hope it helps.

My MacBook died and my hard drive was removed, are my existing files only compatible with Apple products? Are the files encrypted with Apple OS or am I able to import my files to Microsoft programs?
The drive as a whole can’t be read on a PC without installing software such as MacDrive on it.
The answer varies for individual document files; some file formats can be read by Windows software, while others can't.

Removing Exchange 2007 Server from Management Console List
Hello,
We have an organization with a single Exchange 2007 Server running in production. It is working fine.
However, we brought up another server (we'll call it the secondary server for purposes of this thread) and linked it into this organization several months ago. Our plans for this box changed and we have kept it powered off, unlicensed, and unused.
Now, when we manage our production server, the management console keeps complaining about how the secondary server is almost at the end of its trial period, needs licensed, etc.
Since we might or might not use the secondary server in the future, it is possible to "unlink" it (or set it dormant somehow) from the server list to stop the license warnings? Or is our only recourse to remove Exchange and take it down if we don't
intend to license it and bring it into production? Our hope is that it can wait in the wings until such time as we decide to user & license it.
What are the implications if we ignore the license warnings and continue not to use it? Will it impact management of the production server at all or just continue to annoy?
TIA, Tom W.
JTWHello,
"What are the implications if we ignore the license warnings and continue not to use it? Will it impact management of the production server at all or just continue to annoy?"
You should have all production servers licensed but after trial period expiration the server will have all Exchange capabilities and features. Also trial period expiration should not have any negative impact on your environment. The EMC will simply prompt
to license that server correctly.
"Our plans for this box changed and we have kept it powered off, unlicensed, and unused."
In my opinion it is bad idea to have Exchange server installed but powered off. Note that this server still resides as object in Active Directory and it may complicate any future modifications of your environment (migration to newer versions of Exchange
etc.). I think you should use this server to provide some kind of high availability (and provide proper license for it) or remove it completely.
Once again: trial expiration is not a problem from server's functionality perspective, Exchange server powered down - it can be a problem. -

Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.
You will need a minimum of 10-12 GBs of free space to install Yosemite, however, that is a bare minimum and should be at least twice that amount. -

Apple stores don't do part exchanges. You could check to see if your carrier has any upgrade offers, or see if a different store will do a part-exchange.

eZikorai,
From what you are telling us, you won't be able to remove Exchange from that system using the setup program - go ahead and remove it manually, both from the server (if necessary) and from the directory (which will definitely be necessary) using the links
we have provided. Here are some good ones:
Removing Exchange 2003 from the Server:
This one is only necessary if you need to remove Exchange but still have the server operational for other purposes - for instance, if it is also a domain controller - http://blogs.msmvps.com/bradley/2011/01/28/manually-removing-exchange-2003-from-the-migration-process/
If the server isn't required for any other purposes, rebuild the operating system on it
Removing Exchange 2003 from the Directory:
Go to the "Remove the Exchange Server 2003 server from Active Directory" section of this link for how to remove Exchange 2003 from the directory:
http://support2.microsoft.com/kb/833396/en-us
One note from Ed Crowley, Exchange MVP - "Do not remove the Exchagne 2003 administrative groups unless you want free-busy problems, leave them there forever."
This should leave you with a system that has no Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2010 is running smoothly with no issues. -

Removing Exchange 2007 from SBS 2008 after Migrating to Office 365 Mid Sized with DirSync and SSO
We have recently completed off a Migration of Exchange 2007 to Office 365 Mid Sized platform.
I now need to decomission the old SBS 2008 server as they have moved to a Windows Server 2012 R2 server setup for DC, File and print and application servers.
I need to know what are the ramifications of removing the Exchange 2007 server from the SBS 2008 server and will this remove the LegacyDN details from AD and cause any issues with internal emails between users using Outlook linked through to Office365.
I understand that after removing Exchange 2007 there will be no friendly GUI to update and maintain proxyAddress, targetAddress and LegacyDN addresses, I am comfortable doing this in ADSI edit or with a script.
Will this remove the x500 addresses relating to the on premise Exchange Orgainisation and just leave behind the x500 addresses for Exchange Labs which I assume is the x500 addresses for the Azure AD intergration for Office365.Hi ,
Thank you for posting your issue in the forum.
I am trying to involve someone familiar with this topic to further look at this issue. There might be some time delay. Appreciate your patience.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

Remove Exchange 2007 from an Exchange 2013 coexistence.
Hey everyone,
I've just installed Exchange 2013 on a new server and all is working great. It is currently in coexistence with our old Exchange 2007 server. I've since shut the server down and Exchange 2013 has been working without issue. However, I haven't
been able to find any articles on this matter so I figured I would ask the question here.
How do you remove Exchange 2007 from the coexistence. Do I just uninstall Exchange 2007 from the old server and it will remove itself from the server and the domain? Any help/link on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
ChrisHi Simon,
I am about to do the same exercise as Chris, I just would like some clarity.
1) When you say mailbox Database, do you mean make sure there are no more mailboxes that you want to move over, or are you actually meaning delete the physical DB on the exchange 2007 server.
2) If there is no use of public folders does anything need to happen?
Thanks,

SBS 2008 to 2011 - Forgot to Remove Exchange
Argh! Following the doc for SBS 2008 to SBS 2011 migration. I guess I lost my place.... Went to demote server, I had to remove Certificate Authority first. The instructions for this were AFTER removing Exchange, so I did the Certificate
stuff, FORGOT about Exchange, and kept going....
Since my 21 days were up, I simply shut off the old server.
IN Exchange, the main mailbox, the Outlook Address Book Offline, Public Folders, etc, are all on the new server. When I run the EMC, it does list the 2nd server.
Since I am out of time, have already removed AD from the source server, how much pain do you think this can cause if we just keep the old server off, and cross our fingers?? How bad would it be to turn on the Source Server, reinstall AD services, THEN
remove Exchange, then AD? Would re-adding AD screw up everything?
Appreciate any comments (except telling me to RTFI, lol. Believe me, I wish I had).No one? I was hoping some sort of MVP or MS Employee would at least offer an opinion as to how bad this is....
