Using Cluster Administrator to Remove the Exchange Virtual Server

In Exchange 2000 Server, you removed an Exchange Virtual Server by deleting the Exchange System Attendant resource. However, this is not how you remove an Exchange Virtual Server in Exchange 2003.

To remove an Exchange Virtual Server in Exchange 2003, you must use the appropriate shortcut menu option in Cluster Administrator. Trying to remove the server by just deleting the Exchange System Attendant resource does not work. If you delete the Exchange System Attendant, you must re-create it, and then correctly delete the Exchange Virtual Server.
