Hello,
Our organization has 2 Exchange servers running Windows 2000 and Exchange 6.0 with all the service packs. Server 1 needs to be decommissioned, but it is running the ADC connector service. We have found that when Server 1 is powered off, we experience issues with Server 2. Server 2 does NOT have the ADC connector service running, but contains all of the mailboxes and public folders. Basically, Server 1 is just sitting there powered on because it needs to be (assuming because of the ADC connector service).
My question is, what is the proper method to decommission Server 1? Do I need to install the ADC connector on Server 2, then remove it from Server 1? Is the ADC necessary at all?
I have looked at many articles online, but most address the migration of 5.5 to 2003 environments. We are already off of 5.5.
Thank you in advance.
