Removal of First Server in Site Question.

[Pfefferkorn, Pete (PFEFFEPE)]

Exchange 5.5 SP4 

We're getting ready to remove the first server from our site in the next
couple of weeks.  I performed all the steps as defined in Q152959.  I do
have one remaining question and it may be a stupid one at that.  Our current
system contains the following (using a,b,c,d,e to simplify):

SYSTEMA - old server to be retired
SYSTEMB - Exchange server for mailboxes
                - Routing Calculation Server
SYSTEMC - Exchange server for mailboxes
                - Public Folders
                - Schedule+ Free Busy
                - Organizational Forms
SYSTEMD - Exchange Server for Internet Mail Connector
                - Primary Domain Controller
                - OWA
SYSTEME - Exchange Server for Internet Mail Connector
                - Backup Domain Controller
                - OWA

Once I remove our old server from the site, I believe I should change the
current DNS record for that system to point to another box.  I still need to
retain the MX records but I'll have to change the existing IP address.
We've been using SYSTEMA.UC.EDU for a very long time, so all the users
reference SYSTEMA.UC.EDU when creating profiles and such.  Which system
would be best to add an alias for or am I off base on this issue?
