Exchange Management Console Listing Extra Servers

exchangeexchange-2003exchange-2010

I recently decommissioned an Old Exchange 2003 server. Prior to the decommissioning, the environment consisted of 2 EXCH 2010 and that one EXCH 2003 server. I went through all the steps listed in Microsoft documents and online in how to remove the server completely (pruning the AD and all that jazz). When I go to Exchange Management Console it still lists 3 total servers in the "Server Summary" column in the Organizational Health tab. When I click manage servers, it only lists the 2 EXCH 2010 servers. I am aware this is only a cosmetic issue but I would appreciate it if anyone can share some advice on how to fix the issue.

Update:

If the server is truly removed from the environment, you may just need to click the link at the bottom of the Orginization Health tab that says Last Updated: timestamp. Click here to access the latest data. If not, then my original answer still applies, but you will need to update this data after removing the server.

Original Answer:

In order to resolve this you will need to remove the Exchange 2003 server from Active Directory using ADSIEdit.
