I am in the process of removing Exchange from SBS 2011, in your guide, step 13 number 7 you have shown 3 arbitration mailboxes but on my setup there are 7 mailboxes is it ok to delete all 7.

Get-Mailbox -Arbitration | fl name

    Hello David,

    Good to hear from you :) I assume you have migrated to Exchange Server 2016? If that is the case there are more System related mailboxes and to find out if they are on the SBS 2011 just type Get-Mailbox -Arbitration (without the  | fl name) and that should also show you on which server they are. Only delete those on the SBS 2011.

    Ok from that command it looks like all the arbitration mailboxes are on the exchange 2016 server so do I skip this step.

    Get-Mailbox -Arbitration

    Name                      Alias                ServerName       ProhibitSendQuota
    ----                      -----                ----------       -----------------
    SystemMailbox{1f05a927... SystemMailbox{1f0... exch2016         unlimited
    SystemMailbox{e0dc1c29... SystemMailbox{e0d... exch2016         unlimited
    FederatedEmail.4c1f4d8... FederatedEmail.4c... exch2016         1 MB (1,048,576 bytes)
    SystemMailbox{bb558c35... SystemMailbox{bb5... exch2016         unlimited
    Migration.8f3e7716-201... Migration.8f3e771... exch2016         300 MB (314,572,800 bytes)
    SystemMailbox{D0E409A0... SystemMailbox{D0E... exch2016         unlimited
    SystemMailbox{2CE34405... SystemMailbox{2CE... exch2016         unlimited

    Host

    Yes, those are just fine on the new server. I will add some writing to the guide that explains this. BTW, a better command to check this would be:

    Get-Mailbox -Arbitration | Fl name,servername,alias
