We are currently planning our migration  from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 and we did not realize that we should run the jetstress tool and then remove it before you install Exchange 2013 because it can cause problems with performance counters. I read this in the Jetstress Field Guide. Exchange 2013 was installed previously, but it has not been configured yet. I would like to know if I can just remove Jetstress and configure Exchange or should I perform a reinstall of Server 2012 and Exchange 2013 and if so can I just wipe it clean and start from the beginning or does it have to be removed from AD as well.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Hi Jose,

Thank you for your question.

If Exchange 2013 is not online production, we suggest you reinstall window server 2012 and Exchange 2013. Because we didnt suggest you run some other applications on Exchange 2013. Although it has been uninstalled.

If Exchange 2013 is online, you could remove Jetstress from Exchange 2013, if there are any issues after we remove it, welcome to our forum ask for help, we will give a better solution for you.

If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.

Best Regard,

Jim

Would I need to remove the exchange server from AD using ADSIedit or would a complete reinstall be ok?

Hi krakatao,

You could remove Exchange 2013 from Control Pane, then we could check if the Exchange has removed using ADSiedit. Then Window server 2012 could exited domain. Then we could re-install window server.

If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know.

Best Regard,

Jim

I removed Exchange 2013 using the control panel and it was successful. I verified adsiedit that it was removed. Thank you for your help.
