Visit the forums at Exchange Server. You can subscribe one or more Edge Transport servers to a single Active Directory site. If you deploy additional Edge Transport servers in your perimeter network and subscribe them to the same Active Directory site where an Edge Subscription already exists, the following actions occur:.

The new Edge Subscription is added to the source server list of the automatic Send connector to the Internet. Messages submitted to that connector for processing will be load balanced between the subscribed Edge Transport servers. An inbound Send connector is automatically created from the Edge Transport server to the Exchange organization.

You may occasionally want to remove an Edge Subscription from the Exchange organization or from both the Exchange organization and the Edge Transport server. If you plan to later resubscribe the Edge Transport server to the Exchange organization, don't remove the Edge Subscription from the Edge Transport server.

This can take a long time if you have lots of recipient data. To completely remove an Edge Subscription, you need to run this procedure on the Edge Transport server you wish to remove and on an Exchange Mailbox server in the Active Directory site where the Edge Transport server is subscribed.

You will no longer be able to use Edge Transport server features that rely on Active Directory data. For example, to remove the Edge Subscription on the Edge Transport server named Edge01, run the following command. For example, to remove the Edge Subscription for the Edge Transport server named Edge01 on a Mailbox server in the subscribed Active Directory site, run the following command.

You no longer want the Edge Transport server to participate in EdgeSync synchronization.

Should they be migrated as part of the user mailbox migration or is some other step more appropriate? Hi, did you find out an answer for this. We are about to move all of our mailboxes and have the same question. In the guides it says to shutdown the old server for a little while before decommissioning.

While our old server is shut down we are experiencing some issues. Some sluggish behavior with outlook, and very slow initial setup when deploying new users on outlook. Dear Paul, Could you please recommend any article or any other source where is described what happens when the last legacy server is removed?

I mean changes in AD Thank you very much! I know this is late but I just encountered the same scenario. The recovery install worked just as documented. I migrated Exchange to All is working except that when users logon, they get a cert error from the old server.

I moved all of the certs re-created to the new server. How can I stop that? How can I remove that from the environment? What does the certificate error say? The supported way to remove a dead server is to reinstall it using a recovery install, and then cleanly uninstall it. Sorry for the delay. The error that I get is — The name on the security certificate is invalid or does not match the name of the site.

It references the old server name. Sounds like your namespaces were never configured correctly. Also the improper removal of the old server causing problems. For first day all was goging fine. But after couple of hours i notice the exchagne services are recclying and till this moment i am not able to start Exchange service some services start and stop again till now this is goign on.
