We are in the process of migrating to a new domain infrastructure. In our old domain, we went through and removed all previous Exchange servers (exchange 2003/2007) and shutdown all of them. But when looking in the configuration of the schema this did not pull everything out. Is there any step-by-step how to completely remove Exchange from Active Directory (schema, groups, etc..), we would like to get the old domain as clean as possible prior to shutdown. Thanks in advance.

You cant remove the schema extensions and the groups have got nothing to do with Exchange per-se. If youve uninstalled the Exchange servers and there are no messages youre ok.

Okay. We broke all ties back to our new exchange org about one week ago. Just making sure it is as clean as can be. thanks for replying to my thread.
