I don't understan I just added a new exchage server to my existing site every thing replicated to the new server. I turnd off the old exchange server, though that the new server would be able to send and reseive mail. I tryed to open outlook whyle old server was turned off. outlook wouldn't work. I had to turn it back on for outlook to work. How can I get rid of the old server? I have every thing I need on the new exchage server.

You mean by removing the exchage name from my system to the new system, Yes. I type the new exchage name and it automatilcally change the name to the old server when I clicked on check name.

There are several things you need to do before you can remove the first Exchange server in a site. First, you need to be sure all of the mailboxes have been moved and public folders have been replicated. Then, there are several other pieces you have to change, such as the offline address book and routing info. Here's a link to a good Technet article that will walk you through it:
