How to remove a lost exchange 2007 server
Hi, I lost one server in my organisation. I can't get the hardware back again and there is no backup. How can I remove it from my exchange organisation? Deleting the server in the ad-computer-list did not remove it from the management console. And some commands like test-owaconnectivity still try to access the lost server and therefore fail. Thanks in advance. Joerg

You'll have to pull it out of the configuration container with adsiedit.

also, if you've got a virtual machine handy, you could reinstall with setup.exe /mode:recoverserver then once its back up, uninstall exchange. That would be a very clean route.
