Hello!

We have a Skype for Business 2015 Server (Standard Edition and Edge) and we already have not using it. We only used it internal/external chatting, it is not integrate with PSTN. I would like to completely remove from our infrastructure. How can I do it? I don't find any documentation in MS website.

Thanks
