Reinstall Exchange on the old server (using same name) using the recoverserver switch.  Once Exchange is reinstalled, properly uninstall it via add/remove programs.

Hi Salehice,

Thank you for your question.

I agree with Hinte, we could perform a disaster recovery by the following link:

In addition, if there are no effects when we remove it and we just want to move it from server menu, we could refer to the following steps:

1.Run ADsiedit.msc in RUN, then navigate

Configuration [<domainController>.contoso.com]> CN=Configuration,DC=contoso,DC=com> CN=Services> CN=Microsoft Exchange> CN=<OrganizationName> CN=Administrative Group> CN=Exchange Administrative Group>CN=Server

2.We could check if CAS server is existed in this container, we could remove it

Notice: when we run ADsiedit.msc, we should make sure another Exchange server are running without any problems. In addition, we should backup AD database before we modify AD configured information, I suggest we ask MS engineer for help.

If there are any questions regarding this issue, please be free to let me know. 

Best Regard,

Jim
