Exchange 5.5 orphaned sites
LockedAs a continuation to ‘Remove orphaned Exchange 5.5 objects’ I am in a much worse mess. I have recently started at a company that had multiple Exchange 5.5 sites across multiple domains and the replication and trusts rarely worked correctly on either. As a result the company decided to create a new 2000 active directory and ignore the old problems but used the Exchange 5.5 as the bridgehead for the new Exchange 2000, as you can imagine this just caused more mess. As the old NT4 domain / Exchange 5.5 sites have been removed the servers were just switched off and have since been re-formatted, destroyed or sold off. This leaves me with an Exchange 5.5 bridgehead which is still supporting some Exchange 5.5 servers and some Exchange 2000 servers, but with numerous sites that no longer exist and cannot be connected to in order to replicate them and there users out, and a global address list that has more people in it that don’t exist than do.
I am in desperate need of help, if I could get away with removing the remaining Exchange 5.5 sites and making the Exchange 2000 the bridgehead in order to just switch off the old NT4 Exchange 5.5 bridgehead I would, but the troublesome sites a replicated into the Exchange 2000.
Thankyou.
