![]() In short, flattening with ADSIEdit is only the start of the process. Now, Exchange leaves traces of itself in many different places in Active Directory or the system registry, and generally it’s a real pain to find, remove, and validate that all vestiges of a server have truly been removed. You could then reinstall Exchange on the server and all would be well. In the old days, removing the server object with ADSIEdit was clean and efficient. I ran ADSIEdit and blew away the server object. Instead, I did what Exchange administrators have done ever since Exchange 2000 came along when a server is proving truculent and Exchange (the product) won’t uninstall cleanly. ![]() I don’t mean that I took the physical computer out into the parking lot and drove a large vehicle over it to reduce the server to so many random bits of metal. ![]() I flattened an Exchange 2013 server the other day.
