Force remove Exchange 2013

Hi all,

Can someone please supply me the command to force remove Exchange Server 2013, I've tried the standard:

Setup /Mode:Uninstall /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms

However this will not work.

Thanks

Are you getting any error? Post the error message.
Did you tried this?
.\Setup.exe /mode:Uninstall /role:ClientAccess,Mailbox /IacceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms

Hi
   1.The Roles parameter isnt supported when using the Uninstall Setup mode. When you uninstall Exchange 2013, all server roles are uninstalled from the computer. Uninstalling individual roles isnt supported."

  2.If you already have Exchange you will need to remove this Exchange server like Exchange 2010.

after removing all mailbox database & Public folder mailbox database, then from add/remove program uninstall the Exchange.Its similar to remove Exchange 2010.on adsiedit there will be Exchange 2013 object, you will need to delete this object manually from configuration>services.

I know this is an old threat. I didn't succeed as well. I needed to reinstall a crapy install. I could not uninstall because there were accounts in the active directory. You need to delete them first if you are unable to use the ECP or PowerShell Comlets. Then run this command again and uninstall should run unattend.

Cheers
