    Mr. Schertz has an excellent post on renaming an OCS pool which I've used multiple times now to remove a pool. Just be careful, and remove the attributes referencing the deleted server/pool.

    And in the future make sure you deactivate the server and pool before uninstalling.

    You can use the same pool name ofsource but make sure your former OCS server is correctly uninstalled. So when you un install you server make sure:

     

    - the OCS pool is correctly removed (remove the OCS-pool through the UI - OCS Administrative Tools)

    - uninstall OCS from your OCS Std or OCS Ent Edition Server. Add / Remove programs.

    - optional: unprep your OCS domain

    - optional: unprep your OCS forest

     

    ** Schema can't be unprepped.

    Since that ship has already sailed he can't do any of those things.

     

    If you haven't already cleaned up the info in AD you could attempt to perform a new install, but I have to recommended my approach, as it's best to cleanup the leftovers and start again.

    Hi

     

    Because of your situation you will get errors when reinstalling and it wont work.

     

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-au/office/bb629431.aspx

     

    if you use this link and download the cmd line ref guide (bottom of first list) it has the commands to manually remove everything for a clean start.

     

    make sure you check the log files if you have any errors removing via cmd line

     

    OCS 2007 locks its self very tightly to AD

     

    spend a few hour make sure you get everything

     

    Hope this helps

     

    Jeff
