You can uninstall it, then reinstall it using the same name and IP Address. For the new install you can use 2010 SP3.

Hello,<br />
<br />
Need a little help. I am currently running a standalone exchange 2010 SP1 on a 2008 R2 server through VMWare. I want to uninstall exchange and re-install in a different location, while upgrading to exchange SP3 at the same time if possible (can do separately at a later date if needed). <br />
<br />
Reason:<br />
Previous network admin installed exchange program files on a 400GB drive separate from the system drive, including the info store and logs. The info store got too big and I broke it off into another vmdk, then re-attached the info store to exchange. Now I have the exchange program files on a 400GB drive and would like to use that space for other things. What I would like to do is re-install exchange to the system drive, and remove that 400GB vmdk that it currently sits on. <br />
<br />
So far I have made a clone of the Exchange VM to re-build if that is a possibility. <br />
<br />
Any help would be appreciated!<br />
<br />
Thanks,<br />
Matt
