Some more points ! As you said physical server is no longer existence, then you can just delete server from ESM (right click on server and select delete), after that proceed with remove server object from active directory using ADSI. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Windows 2000 Support Tools, point to Tools, and then click ADSI Edit. Expand the following items: Configuration Container CN=Configuration, DC=<var>Domain_Name</var>,DC=com CN=Services CN=Microsoft Exchange CN=<var>Your_Organization_Name</var> CN=Administrative Groups CN=<var>Your_Administrative_Group_Name_Or_Exchange5.5_Site_Name</var> CN=Servers Note In this procedure, <var>Domain_Name</var> represents the name of your domain, <var>Your_Organization_Name</var> represents the name of your organization, and <var>Your_Administrative_Group_Name_Or_Exchange5.5_Site_Name</var> represents for the name of your administrative group or Exchange Server 5.5 site. Right-click the Exchange Server 2003 server object, and then click Delete. Click Yes in every adsiedit dialog box that prompts you to confirm the deletion. Anil
