HI,
Let me start by saying I am still learning my way around Exchange 2010.
We recently had a consultant help us migrate to Exchange 2010 from 2003. We are getting errors in the event viewer that I believe indicate that Exchange is still looking for the old server, which is now offline but available if needed. I'll paste the info from event viewer below.

I am pretty certain that we deleted the routing group connector between the two servers. Also, when I run "Get-RoutingGroupConnector" it returns nothing.
As I said earlier, the old EXCH 2003 server is offline but is available if I need to bring it back up to resolve this issue. I would like to get rid of it completely but I want to make sure I don't need it anymore first. I would really appreciate any tips on where to start so I can resolve this issue.
Thanks,
JG
