2007 wont install because a now deceased 2003 server was native or sp2

Zones: Exchange Email Server, Windows 2003 Server, Active Directory

Tags: Microsoft, Exchange, 2007, replacement server for a now deceased exchange 2003 server

I have a site at the moment, that had 2 DCs, one with all the roles, the other with Exch2003.

Exch2k3 wasnt being used, but they bought a full install of 2007. while i was away the 2003 box died and is no more.

i came in, settled down AD etc as they just threw away the server.

i have installed a new 2003 server, added it to the domain, i have one step on the 2007 install that fails, it says the Exchange 2003 server is not in not in native mode and was not running SP2

this server it is referring to is no more, so im guessing it is coming from AD.

Does anyone know of a way to fool the 2007 install or something? i need this server on, but it is being stopped by obsolete information.

i have already done a Metadata Cleanup and removed AD references to the old server, but this obviously didnt include the Exchange stuff.

Cheers
