Remove LCS attributes from old installation

I am going through our current AD structures (Windows 2003 native no R2), and I keep finding old traces of when an Live Communications Server 2005 was installed, but never removed. A previous employee installed it and the server crashed so it was never properly removed from the domain. What must be done to remove all the attributes (ie: Live Communications Address) from AD ? I can see a lot of msRTC schema attributes still there from the schema editor.

Anyone have any ideas?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks for the help. I was able to run lcscmd /domain:x.com /action:unprepdomain and forest.

The domain unprep completed successfully and the forest unprep required a /force for it to work.

The "Live Communications Address" field no longer is present in ADUC. I was unable to find the CN=RTC Service under the domain configuration in ADSI Edit. However, I can still see a bunch of CN=ms-RTC attributes listed under Schema in ADSI edit. Is it safe to delete all these? We have no OCS servers installed in our domain. Just exchange 2003.


Thanks!

Thanks again for all your help. I think I'll just leave the schema alone. It doesn't appear to be hurting anything.
