Removing a transportserver from a routing group

Hi, we are currently changing from 2 x 2003 servers to 1 x 2010 server
FOXGLOVE - SBS2003
PINE - Server 2003 with Exchange 2003
APPLE - Server 2012 with Exchange 2013.
We have moved public folder replica's\mailboxes off PINE, and came to uninstall exchange from PINE, but it popped up that it couldn't be done as it was a remote bridgehead 
When i look on System Manager on the 2003 server, the routing group connector "2k32k10" shows  FOXGLOVE & PINE as remote bridgheads. (but they cannot be removed from here (new version of exchange)
So looking on 2010
Name                      SourceRoutingGroup                             TargetRoutingGroup
2k32k10                   first routing group                            Exchange Routing Group (DWBGZMFD01QNBJR)
2k32k10                   Exchange Routing Group (DWBGZMFD01QNBJR)       first routing group
also running "Get-Routinggroupconnector | fl" shows the pine server listed in "targettransportservers"
targettransportservers : {PINE, FOXGLOVE}
I searched and found the command to set the target transport server:
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Set-RoutingGroupConnector -Identity "2k32k10" -TargetTransportServers "FOXGLOVE"
The operation couldn't be performed because '2k32k10' matches multiple entries.
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (0:Int32) [Set-RoutingGroupConnector], ManagementObjectAmbiguousException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : 52C67F2B,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.SystemConfigurationTasks.SetRoutingGroupConnector
So instead I used the guid 
[PS] C:\Windows\system32>Set-RoutingGroupConnector -Identity "bcf647c9-aa29-430c-80e9-4adc43240e3b" -TargetTransportServ
ers "FOXGLOVE"
Target servers can't be in the same routing group as the source servers. The source servers belong to the routing group
: 'first routing group'.
    + CategoryInfo          : InvalidOperation: (2k32k10:RoutingGroupConnector) [Set-RoutingGroupConnector], SendConne
   ctorSo...nOneRgException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : 39024363,Microsoft.Exchange.Management.SystemConfigurationTasks.SetRoutingGroupConnector
    + PSComputerName        : apple.phoenix.local
Im now a bit stumped.
Basically FOXGLOVE needs to stay working with APPLE, but PINE needs to be removed.
Any help?
Thanks

Hi Garry,
Agree with Dare's suggestion. You can run the following cmdlet to remove the routing group connector between Exchange 2010 routing group and Exchange 2003 routing group at first.
Remove-RoutingGroupConnector -Identity "xxx" -DomainController xx.xx.xx
What's more, here are some helpful threads for your reference.

  • Removing the user from standard task group

    Experts,
    I need to remove the one user from the standard task "Display MC Document (outbound w/o IDoc)". Since it is a standard task I'm not able to make any changes.
    I hope I need to change in the agent which is assigned to this task. But donno how to find the agents assigned to this task.
    Please help me in resolving this.
    Thanks,
    Naveen

    Hi Naveen,
    If that user assigned as the 'Possible agent' of the task then you can remove the user easily.
    In the workflow template, go that activity. Under the Task ID there is a option called 'Agents' and click that icon to open. In the new screen, the possible agents of this task will be displayed.
    Select the desired user and delete it.
    Thanks,

  • How do I remove a node from Always on Availability Group in SQL 2012

    Hello I was wondering if anyone could tell me to remove a node from an AOG group in SQL 2012.  We currently have a two node Always on availability group and I need to replace one of the servers.  My plan is to bring the
    new server on to the group then remove the old server and I am having issues finding documentation on this.  Could someone explain how to do this or if it is even possible.
    Thanks

    After the new server is added to the cluster and the AG, remove the old one by first
    ALTER AVAILABILITY GROUP [YourAG]
    REMOVE REPLICA ON N'OldServer';
    Remove a Secondary Replica from an Availability Group
    Then evict the old server from the cluster with the cluster administrator or
    Remove-ClusterNode OldServer
    Remember to verify the quorum configuration after adding the new server and removing the old server.

  • Remove users from all distribution groups in Microsoft 365

    Hello
    I would like to know if there is a way I can remove a user from all distribution groups in Microsoft 365. I have a rather large list of users that this would need to be applied to though.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    John

    I would assume yes since there is a cmdlet called, "Remove-DistributionGroupMember", you usually have to have to post some code of what you have
    tried or working on to get further help from most other people here. 

  • How to remove user from custom DLU Group

    Hi,
    I have created a DLU policy that creates a local user, and places this user
    in a custom local group (Group is already present on the system). Now I want
    to remove this user from this custom group and place it in another custom
    group. I have created a second DLU policy to place the user in the new
    custom group. The new custom group is added fine, but the old custom group
    assignment also remains. How should I set up the policy so that the user is
    removed from the old custom group, or is this not possible?

  • Does Deleting a user account remove them from a Distribution Group?

    yes

    I currently use Office 365 and utilize distribution Groups in Exchange.
    If I delete an active user from office 365, would this remove them also from the distribution group?

  • How to remove an adjustment from multiple images

    Hi, i've used the lift and stamp method to apply a black and white preset to a group of images. I want to remove this adjustment from the same group of images but the only way i can see how to do it is to unclick the Black and White adjustment brick for each image individually. Is there a way to do this for a group of images?

    You are absolutely right. My apologies.
    What follows is what I found out this morning, just by poking around. I am not a programmer nor a program designer -- my apologies in advance for anything wrong or clumsily understood.
    I believe you have stumbled across a significant design flaw in Aperture. Resetting an adjustment brick effectively removes it for some bricks, and does not for others ^1^. There is no way I know of to batch remove (or turn on/off (i.e.: check or uncheck)) adjustment bricks. There should be.
    The [User Manual|http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter =16%26section=9%26hash=apple_ref:doc:uid:Aperture-UserManual-91292AOV-1009540] is simply wrong about this. On the "Removing Adjustments" page it states:
    To remove a single adjustment from an image
    Select an image, then click the Reset button for the adjustment you want to remove.
    This does not work for those adjustments which default to having an effect, such as the "Black & White" brick under discussion, "Vignette" and others.
    It seems to me there should be clear distinctions between (and controls for) both the "on/off" status of an adjustment brick, and the "default/not-default" settings of the parameters within the brick.
    Perhaps others can join in with further comments and provide some more light on this. As it is, I recommend sending feedback on this to the Aperture team, via the program. Use "Aperture→Provide Aperture Feedback".
    ^1^ There are two kinds (at least) of adjustments in Aperture: those with a "null" default and those with a "non-null" default. Null-default adjustments can be "zeroed out" -- the adjustment can be applied and have no effect. Non-null-default adjustments cannot be zeroed out -- the only way to have no effect is to turn the adjustment off (uncheck it) or remove it. There are, to the best of my knowledge, no ways to batch turn off or remove adjustments (I don't use AppleScript, but I checked the manual).

  • Copy Routing Group without material assignment

    Dear Guru ,
    I want to create in CA01 a routing group copied from another routing group.
    But in this copy i don’t want to copy the material assignments.
    How can do this ?

    Dear nandha ,
    The SET / GET PARAMETERS in routing ( tcode op8b) is already enabled for the indicator of task list.
    But this flag indicates that the last group maintained is the default value in task list maintenance.
    So it serves to other purposes

  • Cannot get an IP from the Router - Limited or No Connection

    Help!
    Hello,
    I have a Linksys Wireless G router and 2 XP computers that were
    working fine.
    I am using it wired - no wireless being used.
    Now one get an error that is there is low network connectivity and
    cannot connect to anything.
    The other computer - fine. So X - no connection, Y - connected
    I tried swapping cables - same situation (different ends, new cable,
    the one from Y) - X no network, Y is fine. Switched router ports -
    same situation X-no, Y - yes
    Plugged in modem directly into X - works FINE.
    I did check the security center in the control panels - in both cases
    the fire wall is on, but the windows firewall is off. I cannot
    disable the firewall from X - it must be the router firewall (I tried
    removing any filtering from the router - same issue). Again, Y works
    fine.
    Only when going through the router does this cause a problem.
    Direct connection is fine.
    To top it off, when computer X is booted up in safe mode and going
    through the router - it is fine. An IP address is taken. In regular
    mode the computer boots up and shows an IP address of 169.254.x.x. I
    tried power cycling the mode, router, both, reboots - same issue
    169.254.x.x. I tried hard coding the IP address to the one found on
    the router and in the range of the router - no dice.
    Why can't I get an IP address from DHCP?
    Computer X does not Norton Antivirus on it - I disabled it in regular
    mode - same problem. I do not want to uninstall it.
    I read about a Service Pack 2 problem with XP - but the problem does
    not appear in Safe Mode with Networking and I did try the fixes my MS
    about it - to no avail. The underlying issue is that computer X
    cannot get an IP address from the router.
    Computer X work when:
    - there is a direct connection from the modem (DSL) to the computer
    in regular mode
    - booted up in Safe Mode and attached to the router - can ping it,
    surf the net
    Computer Y is fine with the Router.
    Suggestions on how to proceed?
    Help!
    Thanks!

    Computers make it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do don't need to be done.
    - Andy Rooney

    Hi,
    I tried it - same problem.
    Did the netsh command and reboot.
    Did the mtu change.
    Same problem.
    Reset the router and tried all over - same situation.
    The DHCP client list shows 2 ip addresses - one for the computer that does not work and one for the one that does not.
    Same IP addrsses as before.
    192.168.1.100 - does not work - but the MAC address hows, and so does the computer name.
    192.168.1.101 - does work.
    Again, the computer works in safe mode (and connected to the router) and with a direct connection. The issue has to be with the router.
    Is there any way I can for the computers to swap router IPs?
    Thanks,
    Tmuld

  • Removing old exchange 2003 routing groups from Exchange 2010.

    I have migrated over to Exchange 2010(server2008) from Exchange 2003(SBS2003). I've also already run the uninstall for exchange 2003 on the old SBS 2003 server. The old server itself is still running but exchange has been removed and once I get this fixed
    I plan to fully remove the old SBS server.
    I now get event ID 5020 and 5006 throughout the day on the new server. From what I've read, this happens because the old routing group connectors still exist.
    If I run Get-ExchangeServer I get

    Am I correct in assuming that the way to fix this now is to go into ADSI edit and delete records under CN=First Administrative Groups? As in delete CN=Routing Groups and CN=Servers and everything under both of those? I'd try this myself but I'm not aware
    of any way to restore those records easily if I'm wrong.
    Event ID 5006
    Cannot find route to Mailbox Server CN=SERVER,CN=Servers,CN=first administrative group,CN=Administrative Groups,CN=HR,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=hr,DC=local for store CN=Public Folder Store (SERVER),CN=First Storage Group,CN=InformationStore,CN=SERVER,CN=Servers,CN=first

    Get-RoutingGroupConnector shows nothing. As for the servers group. It has the old server under it as shown in the image I posted above. That's actually what stops me from just deleting it because other guides have said not to delete it if an old server
    is listed.
    Is the SBS2003 server listed because I haven't ran DCPROMO to remove it from the network yet? I am planning to do this but was waiting till I cleaned up all the errors before transferring the 5 FMSO roles and running DCPROMO on the old server.
    DCPROMO isn't related to this, no.
    So you removed Exchange already? How? With setup? It should have removed the Exchange Server object then.
    It is supported to remove Exchange 2003 manually if required with adsiedit:

  • Remove routing group

    I just finished an SBS2003-to-Windows2012/Exchange2010 migration. I went through all the steps to migrate Exchange, await/verify replication, etc, seize the FSMO roles to the W2012 server, and finally removed the SBS2003 server from the domain and shut it
    down. Everything is working fine with just Exchange 2010 with one small exception. One thing somehow got leftover: the Exchange administrative group containing only the old server. The only evidence is the event log here:
    The topology doesn't contain a route to Exchange 2000 Server or Exchange Server 2003 [Old Server FQDN] in Routing Group blah, blah, blah.
    Everything I have looked up on the subject explains how to remove problematic/obsolete routing group connectors; however, Get-RoutingGroupConnector returns nothing, and ADSIEdit reveals the problem: there a routing group containing just the old server left
    over from the migration.
    Configuration -> Services -> Microsoft Exchange -> [Exchange domain] -> Administrative Groups. The next level is where I see the problem.  There are two administrative groups:
    The new administrative group containing only the new Exchange 2010 server under CN=Servers
    The original "first administrative group"containing only the old Exchange 2003 server under CN=Servers
    I do see one disturbing thing that might indicate I missed a step in migration: the new administrative group is missing CN=Hierarchies that is present in the old/defunct administrative group. The new one has these:
    Advanced Security
    Arrays
    Database Availability Groups
    Databases
    Routing Groups
    Servers
    Each of those contains references only to objects that exist and are functional in Exchange 2010. The old administrative group contains these:
    Advanced Security (looks the same as the new one above)
    Folder Hierarchies (one entry for Public Folders, Clas msExchPFTree)
    Routing Groups (with nothing under first routing group -> Connections)
    Servers (and only the old server listed)
    So my questions are two:
    Do I need to (and can I) move the Folder Hierarchies to the other administrative group? Or do I need to create one manually there?
    If so, and when done, can I simply delete the obsolete/defunct "first administrative group" via ADSIEdit?

    So, I think maybe I found the solution. I found a post here:
    http://blog.bruteforcetech.com/archives/766 indicating how to manually create the Folder Hierarchies object under the new Exchange administrative group. Besides creating the Folder Hierarchy in the correct administrative group, I had to manually populate
    the msExchOwningPFTreeBL attribute object of the PF Store. Then I got "multiple MAPI..." errors when attempting to manage public folders, so I finally moved the entire obsolete administrative group container to Lost & Found inside ADSIEdit
    (so I could get it out of the way but still see it for reference).
    I think the problem is solved; however, I would not be too surprised if one of you experts finds a major hole in my logic (beside missing the Folder Hierarchies during migration, which I think was the source of my woes today).

    Hi,
    Unfortunately this CP cannot be disabled as it has to be removed from certain RGs but not all. Also removing it through RG forms is always an option but production gatekeepers won't allow to do that. I would have done that in a min.
