Failed uninstall of Exchange 2003 - forgot to remove Free / Busy Replicas
I preformed a migration from Exchange 2003 to 2010.
All went well but I forgot to remove the Replicas from the public "System" folders for Free / Busy.
So uninstalling Exchange 2003 failed. 2003 Rebooted and now I can't get into the Public folders on Exchange 2003 to remove the Replicas.
The 2010 Exchange Server is showing errors to these replicas.
What can I do to remove these replicas and cleanly uninstall Exchange 2003. As of now Exchange 2003 is not fully functioning.
Thank you,

I just wanted to thank you both and I'm going to attempt to split the points as both of you helped!
I ended up reaching out to an exchange consultant who had to use ADSITEdit tool to remove exchange 2003. Everything was done with the migration, I just forgot the one system replica so the uninstall failed on 2003. Which let the 2003 server a mess, couldn't reinstall, uninstall even with the /DR switch. So we really had no choice. Exchange 2010 is now happy.
Thank you both!
