What version of Exchange are running on these machines? Do you still have mailboxes on these exchange servers?

I do not have any mailboxes on this server anymore.. I want to uninstall it from the old Windows 2003 server and remove it from my Exchange environment completely.

Hi,
If you want to uninstall you can uninstall from Add/Remove programs.

Since it's a DC do I have to manually remove anything from the Exchange environment? In the past I thought I have to manually remove object in AD. It's not the last DC.. There are others.. One day I plan to decommission it but not right now..

I'll do this after hours today. I'll take an Exchange and System State backup first. I'll update you ASAP.
