How to Remove Exchange 2007 from a computer
I had some issues with Exchange and after messing with it a lot I decided it was better to remove it and start from a fresh installation. Unfortunately I ran into several issues:
-
I had Connectors, and you can't really delete those from the management console as far as I could tell. I went ahead and opened System Manager on my Windows 2003 // Exchange 2003 box and was able to see them and delete them
-
Public Folder: You can't remove Exchange 2007 until all public folders and replicas are removed from the store… and even after you do that, it wouldn't let me. I found that (on this website: http://telnetport25.wordpress.com/2007/08/21/quick-tip-removing-exchange-2007-error-with-public-folder-replicas/) using adsi edit worked. I just removed the entry on: "CN=First Storage Group,CN=InformationStore,CN=<Your Server>,CN=Servers,CN=Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT),CN=Administrative Groups,CN=<Your Organisation>,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=<your Domain>,DC=<dot Com>" corresponding to my public folder store as I didn't have the other ones and the uninstall worked
Once you are done with that, simply follow the instructions microsoft provides on: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927464 and you'll be set
oh, btw, you can download and read more about ADSI edit on: http://technet2.microsoft.com/windowsserver/en/library/ebca3324-5427-471a-bc19-9aa1decd3d401033.mspx?mfr=true

Can we use Let's Encrypt, the free and open certificate authority?
Hola! gracias por la info, me sirvió el comando sacandole el nombre del server. En mi caso, fue una migración…
Yes 3rd option helped me too. I removed the WC key Values from config file then started working.
I know this is from 2014. But really, thank you!
