I had to remove a failed Exchange Server from Active Directory, the server
was not going to be brought back online. This is done using the ADSI Edit tool
on one of your Domain Controllers. Open ADSI Edit and right
click on the ADSI Edit icon and
select Connect to...
Use the drop down list to select Configuration from the Select a
well known Naming Context: list. Click OK.
Now expand;
|
CN=Configuration/CN=Services/CN=Microsoft
Exchange/CN=DOMAIN/CN=Administrative Groups/CN=Exchange Administrative
Groups/CN=Servers
|
And right click on the failed server from the list of Exchange servers and
select Delete. You will be prompted to confirm you want to delete the
entry, click Yes.
Now if you launch the Exchange
ECP and browse to Servers/Servers, hit the fresh icon and the
Exchange Server will not be removed from the list.
