Hello!

I am recently uninstalling SfB from our infrastructure. The SfB is integrate with our Exchange, which is made by this instruction:
http://blog.schertz.name/2015/09/exchange-and-skype-for-business-integration/

How can I remove the integration between SfB and Exchange completely? Can I run only Remove-PartnerApplication on Exchange and Remove-CsPartnerApplication on SfB?

Thanks.

    @adam900331 ,

    Currently, there is no such official document about removing integration between Skype for Business server and Exchange server.

    In my understanding, it needs to Remove-PartnerApplication on Exchange server and Skype for Business server 2015 firstly.

    Then, delete the following two DNS records:

    Ok, but there are some Exchange specific command which executed long time ago. For example: 

    New-SettingOverride -Name “IM Override” -Component OwaServer -Section IMSettings -Parameters @(“IMServerName=fe.cloudexchangers.com.contoso.com”,”IMCertificateThumbprint= 73AF7BE897B987787BF7625527BFF95AEB5A3FB0″) -Reason “Configure IM” -Server Mbx1

    Get-OwaMailboxPolicy | Set-OwaMailboxPolicy -InstantMessagingEnabled $True -InstantMessagingType “OCS”

    Commands which is executed on SfB Server: 

    New-CsTrustedApplicationPool -Identity mbx1.cloudexchangers.com -Registrar fe.cloudexchangers.com -Site cloudexchangers -RequiresReplication $False


New-CsTrustedApplication -ApplicationId OutlookWebApp -TrustedApplicationPoolFqdn mbx1.cloudexchangers.com -Port 5199

    So In my perspective to decommission fully integration between SfB and Exchange is the following:

    On SfB Server remove TrustedApplication: 

    Remove-CsTrustedApplication -Identity ...

    On SfB Server remove TrustedApplicationPool: 

    Remove-CsTrustedApplicationPool -Identity ...

    On Exchange Server disable owa IM: 

    Set-OwaVirtualDirectory -InstantMessagingEnabled $False
Set-OwaMailboxPolicy -Identity "Deafult" -InstantMessagingEnabled $False

    On Exchange Server remove setting override: 

    Remove-SettingOverride -Name “IM Override”

    On SfB Server remove PartnerApplication: 

    Remove-CsPartnerApplication -Identity ...

    On Exchange remove PartnerApplication: 

    Remove-PartnerApplicaion

    Should I run iisreset???

    What do you think, is it a good terminology?

    Thanks.
