uninstalling Exchange 2003 cluster
We are trying to decommission an Exchange 2003 cluster. From what we understand, to removed the exchange virtual servers, you just right click on the EVS and select Remove Exchange Virtual Server from the context menu. Problem is, that option is not available.
Does anyone have any idea as to why it would not be there?

Thanks for the links. Ive have read through those it seems like a 100 times. Everything has been moved off this cluster to new servers.
Here is where Im either confussed or having troubles.
In Cluster Administrator, in the console tree, select Groups.
In the details pane, right-click the Exchange Virtual Server that you want to remove, and then click
Remove Exchange Virtual Server
#2 option is not available in cluadmin.
