I've had some major issues with getting Exchange 2010 installed on my other server and I've finally found a document that will manually remove it from the server.

http://msexchangehelp.wordpress.com/2010/02/10/manually-uninstall-last-exchange-2010-server-from-organization/

So after I ran through this, I restarted both servers and now my working server which is a Windows 2003 running Exchange 2003 SP2 won't start the exchange services. I tried to reinstall but it tells me that the forestprep and domainprep must be run which
I did and both came back saying that it was already prepped.

Since I couldn't reinstall, I figured I would uninstall and then reinstall. So I did and now the error that I get is the following;
Microsoft Exchange Messaging and Collaboration Service
There is no such object on the server
Facility: LDAP provider
ID no: 8072030
Microsoft Exchange Setup

When I started following the instructions using ADSIEdit, I was thinking to myself that I could be opening a can of worms by doing this. Sure did!
Help!

You DID read this on that web page, didn't you?

"This will COMPLETELY REMOVE ALL Exchange related objects from
Organization Completely.

As It will Remove all Exchange Related Active directory Objects , None
of the Exchange related stuff will work after you complete the
following Manual Un-Installation.

Please dont follow in case you have any working exchange server (
2000,2003,2007 or 2010) in your Organization."

Hmmmm . . . I guess you didn't read it.

If I were you I wouldn't be looking for an answer here, I'd be on the
phone with MS support. That's what I suggest you do.

Ok, thanks for the reply, I am starting think that I may call them. Will they be able to help getting the Exchange 2003 up and running and help getting the Exchange 2010 server running also?

It is hard to guarentee that, but you need to call. Hope you have a backup of your AD system state handy. Good luck.Tim Harrington - Catapult Systems -

I did full backups on both servers before I started this. I will call them

I think they'll probably handle those as separate calls.

Assuming you have a system state backup of the AD made before you
nuked the stuff you'll probably be doing an authoritative restore of
the AD to get things back to the point where E2K3 was operational. As
it is right now, the schema's been extended and there's no Exchange
2003. I don't know if the E2K3 installation stuff will work under
those circumstances.

Hi there, so here is where it stands. I was able to remove Exchange 2003 and reinstall and it is up and running now. My question is how do I reassociate my existing exchange databases with the fresh install of exchange 2003?

hi there, I wound up restoring from backup and now the databases are restored but when I try to put the stores back on line, I get an error C1041724 which generates an event id 9175 'the mapi call oenmsgstore failed'
Any ideas?

Is everything named IDENTICALLY to the old installation? Organization
name, Administrative Groups, servers, etc.

The creation of legacyExchangeDN name is dependant on those all being
correct. If your Exchange organization's been around for a while you
may have a different name for the first AG than the default.

THis is an oldie, but a goodie:

Use it to rename things BEFORE you install the 1st server. I haven't
used it in many years, but it worked when I needed it.

Yeah. See my previous post. Maybe you don't have the legacyExchangeDN
name right.
