Non-production environment; Server 2003; Exchange 2003; both Standard.

I used the swing to upgrade from an older box to a newer one. Both are DCs. I went through all the steps to remove the first Exchange server, and then turned off the old box without uninstalling anything, just to make sure that everything AD and Exchange had transferred cleanly, and that I'd have a rollback option. Naturally, the old box died while it was off line. So now I have a phantom Exch server in ESM and AD, and a phantom DC in AD. I know how to clean out a phantom DC, but the Exchange part I'm not so sure about. ESM won't even let me touch it --as soon as I click on the phantom server, ESM seizes up. If I did a metadata cleanup on the old server, would that cleanly dispose of the Exchange server, or is there something else I need to do?
