None of these services are even running, nor do the registry points exist. I can't imagine that is a complete list of how to uninstall exchange. It didn't even mention delete any files or unregistering any dlls.
Yeah, I skipped the part about removing AD components :) Thanks. The Good Messaging Manual mentioned delete this: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Exchange Which does exists and kinda goes to show that KB article doesn't hit everything. From: Michael B.

Please take care that you don't dick around (that's a technical term!) in AD for a MT removal - just the local registry and the local filesystem. Regards, Michael B.

If you've already got a PARTIAL de-install, you may have no choice but to do a manual removal. Regards, Michael B. Smith Consultant and Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: Sam Cayze [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, December 10, 2010 11:20 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Unistall Exchange Management Tools FAIL For the life of me, I cannot uninstall the 2003 Exchange Management Tools from a Good Messaging Server. I need to uninstall them to install the new 2010 Mapic/cdo stuff. I've tried from the setup.exe on the CD, the ISO off eOpen, Add/remove, etc. A few of those even report it's not even installed. Perhaps because server SP2 is installed and the CDs I'm finding (Even on MS Sites) are SP0 (From what it looks like, you can't slipstream SP's into the setup files). Are there any decent ways to manually uninstall this?
