Shutting down Exchange Server

We have made the move to O365 and because of how my predecessor left things we have a couple of small sites still using our old Exchange Server. they should be off of it in a month or so and then we can shut it down for good.  I was wondering what I will need to do for that.  I was told I cant just turn it off, but what specifically will I need to do?  

Uninstall Exchange?  Remove the server from the domain?  Run something to clean up AD?

You will need to at a minimum uninstall Exchange from the existing server before shutting down for good.  Additionally I would recommend stopping the services for a day and then shutting the server down for a day to weed out any hooks into the old system prior to uninstalling.

Hi,

I understand you want to remove the old exchange server in a hybrid environment.

I suggest we can refer to the below article to achieve your goal:
