I had Exchange 5.5 server, used a second server to do ADC and install Exchange 2000 to
get the foot in the door. The second server was not good enough from the hardware
point of view to be a production Exchange 2000 server. Ten I installed server #3 and
that's the production server.
I had no problems with ADC and with moving maiboxes from Exchange 5.5 to Exchange 2000.
Once everything was moved over, ***I followed all the MS KB articles*** on how to
remove the Exchange 5.5 server out of the organization and how to switch to Native
mode.
In Native mode now. No problems with using Exchange.
Now I want to de-install Exchange 2000 from server #2 and it is not letting me do so.
When I run the setup and pick Remove from the drop-list, I get this pop-up error:
"Setup encountered an error while checking prerequisites for the component "Microsoft
Exchange 2000":
0X80072030 (8240): There is no such object on the server."
The last few lines of the setup log file show this:
[17:48:49] Attempting to create the SRS DOB [checking whether SRS is installed].

The operation has completed successfully.

It looks like the server is looking for some SRS object on the server or in the AD and
cannot find it anymore (because I took SRS out and switched to the Native mode I guess)
Any ideas?
TIA
