I have two exchange servers 5.5 GDH1 and TAM1

GDH1 has the MS Mail Connector configured to TAM1.

I am taking TAM1 offline for good and have moved all mail boxs to GDH1.

What do I need to server the link correctly between GDH1 and TAM1.

I have had TAM1 of line for a while and since then the Information Store Service on GDH1 keeps stoping all the time.

Can anyone tell me how to correctly Remove TAM1 from the site.

Firstly, you do not need a MS Mail connector to connect two Exchange Servers. If bot servers are in the same organisation then there is no need for any form of connector. They will automatically talk to each other without a connector!

The MS Mail Connector is for talking to the old workgroup mail system which could be set up on a Windows NT 4.0 Server, it is not TCP/IP compliant and requires NetBUI installed.

To remove the first Server in a Site is covered in the Microsoft Article number 152959
