Upgrading Windows and Forest with Exchange

-

hi all,

i have following setup:

1. windows 2003 r2 std 32bit server - pdc (active)

2. windows 2008 r2 std 64bit server - exchange 2007 (offline)

last year, have commission new mail server running other mail software , therefore have power off exchange server. understand when installing exchange in domain, integrate it's schema ad.

i have upgrade pdc (only dc in forest) windows 2008 r2 , raise forest functional level windows 2008 r2.

question:

1. have remove exchange stuff in ad before upgrade ad forest functional level windows 2008 r2?

2. better remove exchange stuff in ad in view in future, pdc maybe upgraded windows 2012?

thanks & regards.
