Fail to uninstall Exchange 2003 is Windows SBS 2003
Hi, i have successful migrate my SBS 2003 to SBS 2007. Mail flow and public folder are alright with internal and external mail.
When i try to uninstall the exchange server 2003 in add/remove program, i have the error
"Setup Encountered an error while checking prerequisites for the component "Microsoft Exchange" 0X80072030 (8240). There is no such object on the server
Under ESM, when i click Recipients, i will see
There are no such object in the server. Facility: LDAP provider ID no:80072030 Exchange System Manager
i was wondering if i have made a mistake during the preparing for the Exchange 2003 installation. i am not too sure if the below mistake has cause this
base on the guide here
http://www.petri.co.il/decommission-exchange-2003-servers-exchange-2007-upgrade.htm
There is one part where i deleted the Recipient Update Service using ADSIEDIT tool.
it was only after i deleted it, then i realize i need to reassign the Recipient Update Service to the new Exchange 2007.
What is the work around or is there a way i can recreate a new Recipient Update Service to solve this problem?
The main objective is to remove the exchange server 2003. Can i use below method to manually remove the exchange 2003? My environment is Small business 2003 & Small Business 2007

Does this method also work for small business edition exchange 2003? i saw the edition support never indicate SBS. And the cause may not be due to RUS, Anyone encountered this before and resolved this problem using other method?

Exchange used in SBS is standard ...that aticle applies to standard edition also... you can use that article to remove the Exchange server manully.
The technet article i poste is for removing the last legacy Exchange server which if your migrating is the correct method as it covers all the items that need to be re-homed.
The migration document I posted I have personally used on several occasions 100% sucessfully as have other EE experts.
The Microsoft article explains how to remove exchange from your server it does not take into account the other steps needed as part of a migration and is therefore not the correct document for the procedure require to complete the task the author is undertaking!!
