Migrated from Exchange 2003 to 2007 back in February of this year.

I've still got the old exchange computer account in AD.

Can I simply delete the computer account or will bad things start happening?

I've looked in the Exchange 07 console and don't see the old server listed at all.

HOWEVER: we do still have an old CNAME for this old Exchange server pointing to the new one for a few old clients that still have their mail server set to the old name...if that matters at all.

I ran "get-exchangeserver" on the new server and the old one isn't listed at all.
