I am trying to uninstall Exchange 2003 after installing an Exchange 2007
server. I have followed the steps in the "How to Remove the Last Legacy
Exchange Server from an Organization"
(http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb288905(EXCHG.80,printer).aspx).

When I try to uninstall Exchange 2003 I get the following error.

"Setup encountered an error while checking prerequisites for the component
"microsoft exchange" 0x80072030 (8240): There is no such object on the
server."

There are still SMTP, System Attendant, and SystemMailbox mailboxes.

Here is the last part of the Exchange Setup logfiles on the C: drive of the
effected server.

Search the KB for "Manually Remove Exchange". There are processes for
removing Exchange from a server, removing a server from an organization, and
removing the entire organization manually.
