I notice when removing mailboxes from exchange using the EMC it removes the object from Active Directory. But when i disable the mailbox it keeps that object in the AD.If i uninstall exchange 2007 (which is running my mailbox) will it delete my objects from active directory? do i need to disable all my mailboxes first?I am doing a fresh reinstall of all my server roles, Edge Hub and the mailbox, is there a certain sequence to remove these? (i.e. exchange first then hub then edge, or edge then hub then exchance.)and what order should i reinstall these server roles?Thanks in advance

move all your mailboxes and pf's back to 2003 or wherever first, then uninstall mailbox role. As far as edge hub, it doesn't really matter if you are using edgesync as any changes made will be made on the HT and sync'd to the edge. reinstall, i'd go edge, ht, mbox, but it really depends on if you have to break mailflow or have SLA's to deal with.

I assume this is a test environment? You need to disable all mailboxes before you can remove the mailbox role because it will complain about mailboxes still hosted on the store You don't really need a special sequence when uninstalling everything When you want to migrate the sequence is important You can then reinstall all roles in any sequence Deli
