ADSIEdit is your friend.

Cant use that becasue the server that had exchange 2000 installed does not exist anymore. So the "Remove Server" option does not work.

Do i have to reinstall exchange 2000 on a server of the same name to beable to remove it from my exchange system?

You can use adsiedit from another server to remove the exchange server from AD.

I just need to remove one exchange server using adsiedit not all of them?

Yes, only remove the one you've lost - removing them all will mean you won't have a good week next week.
