Exchange servers to be decommissioned. EV still detects mailboxes

[OldEmployee]

Few of our Exchange servers were decommisioned recently.

I am preparing to remove the exchange tasks and servers as per:

https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/article.100017952

However, EV is still detecting mailboxes on the exchange servers as per this query:

USE EnterpriseVaultDirectory
SELECT *
FROM ExchangeMailboxEntry EME
INNER JOIN ExchangeMailboxStore EMS ON EME.MbxStoreIdentity = EMS.MbxStoreIdentity
INNER JOIN ExchangeServerEntry ESE ON ESE.ExchangeServerIdentity = EMS.ExchangeServerIdentity
WHERE ESE.ExchangeServerIdentity = 'ResultFromPrevious'

Mailboxes were moved in small batches and provisioning task was run every day post this.

Now, Exchange has already been removed from these exchange servers.

Is there another way we can proceed with removal of these servers from EV?

Have you checked the provisioning task report? It is possible there may be some errors reported there.

Nevertheless, you should be able to remove the old Exchange servers from EV even without clearing the mailbox entries from the ExchangeMailboxEntry table.

So removing the servers without clearing the mailboxes, would this leave any unwanted alerts in the admin console or any other events that we should be looking out for?

[VirgilDobos]

Nope, it should not create any problems as far as I know.

By the way, is there a large number of users associated with old Exchange servers? Is it possible that these mailboxes have been disabled a while back?

Thanks.

Yes, the servers being removed had mailboxes for leaver users. Then archived with 0 day policy.
