@Sathishkumar Singh
Based on your description. you have turned off the power of the RODC server. If it affects the Exchange server, it will already affect Exchange.

From this article, we cannot know that Exchange need to have the ability to write configuration information to Active Directory:

So, this question is more related with Windows Server, I will remove the office-exchange-server-itpro tag from this thread. Thanks for your understanding.

Since its already been removed from network you can perform some cleanup to remove the remnants.
