Hello everyone.

I've exchange server 2010 deployed on 2 sites, I wanted to remove UM server and one CAS server please note that VM's of both servers are already deleted only records are present in Exchnage Management Console and Exchange Organization.

I know ADSIedit can be used to remove those servers, but i do not want to proceed as its not recommended and i can not end up with messing up whole topology and configuration.

Is there any way i can delete them from my exchange organization topology and they do not appear afterwards?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

I've Deleted My both VMs from Hyper-V(One is for UM and second for CAS/HUB), so how would i proceed with this now? Both of them are already de-commisioned and there is no role on deleted VM's

It all depends if the Exchange configuration is still in AD or not. If you simply deleted the VMs but didnt remove Exchange from the servers, then you use the technique I linked ab

Exchange configuration is still there i can view that from ADSIEDit section. both of them are present.

Where do i need to run these commands i have 6 MBx 4 cas/hub and 3 edge servers environment is Exch 2010 sp1.

I thinks i need to do this on a new VM , recover the server and then Uninstall exchnage roles from that?

Your thoughts please?

Anything else i need to take care of?

The doc linked above shows how to do it step by step:

Once recovered, run setup and chose to remove Exchange.
