Exchange 2013 - Old Server in Get-ExchangeServer command

Question

We have 2 Exchange 2013 Enterprise Servers: Internal Mailbox server and a DMZ Edge Server.

In 2016, we migrated of our old exchange 2007 Standard server. We stood up these 2 new boxes with different hostnames and migrated all mailboxes over to the new mailbox server and got the Edge server working with that server. After we got everything working, mailboxes and mail flow, we uninstalled the old 2007 mailbox server.

In the Event Viewer, I've been seeing Event 1005: Could not decrypt credential cn=<edge server>,<old 2007 mailbox server> using Edge default certificate with thumbprint <thumbprint>. Please unsubscribe and resubscribe your Edge Transport server. I unsubscribed and resubscribed but this error message keeps coming up.

Then, I ran the Get-ExchangeServer powershell command on the Edge server, and I see the old 2007 mailbox server listed. I ran the same command on the 2013 mailbox server, and this old 2007 mailbox server does not come up on the list, it just list the 2013 mailbox server and the 2013 edge sever.

I check our AD and the old 2007 mailbox server does not exist. I also went to ADSI Edit, and I don't see the 2007 mailbox server listed in the Exchange Administrative Group (<some key>) -> Servers OU.

Any suggestions on how I can get our new Edge Server from seeing the old 2007 mailbox server?
