the problem is the OLD doamin server crashed and didnt have a good backup... so now im stuck with just the exchange 2010 server, and would like to find a way to fix these errors...

ive gone line by line in ADSIEdit.msc and see no reference anywhere to the First Admistrative Group or the OLD server anywhere...

If the default AG is gone, there are generally more serious issues.

If you do a Get-RoutingGroupConnector, what's it show?

So, in ADSIEdit, connecting to the config container, going to Configuration>Services>Microsoft Exchange>[Org Name]>Administrative Groups, the first AG doesn't show up?

*doh* i was connecting to a different container...

i connected to the proper container, went thru the levels and found the First Administrative Group, and everything contained within...

ive read a few different articles, most say to just delete the SERVER entry and the 'branches' below it...

is there any reason i can go a few 'branches' higher and just delete the First Admin Group?

CN=First AG
CN=Servers
CN=(Server name)
CN=InfoStore
CN=Microsoft MTA
CN=Microsoft System Attendant
CN=Protocols


so just the (Server Name) and ones below it are what i should remove...?

If that server is no longer available, and you won't be doing a disaster recovery restore of it, kill it.

- of course, any time someone is in ADSIEDIT, I must add - I provide no warranty, nor assume no liability, from actions you take. YMMV.
