Upgrading Exchange 2007 to 2013

I'm currently in the process of upgrading our Exchange 2007 environment to 2013.  We have previously upgraded from Exchange 2000 and 2003.  While doing an prerquisite assessment, I keep getting the below two failures keeping me from installing Exchange 2013.  I've googled and looked up different KB articles on MSFT's website(s) and 99% of them gives instructions for Exchange 2000 and/or 2003.  The problem is, these two servers no longer physically exist so therefore, I can't do what the instructions tell me.  Can someone help me to remove the instance of these older two environments?

Thanks.

Cannot find the Recipient Update Service responsible for domain 'DC=HALLSCORP,D

     One or more servers in the existing organization are running Exchange 2000
Server or Exchange Server 2003. Installation can't proceed until all Exchange 20

HI,

Have you removed the Exchange 2000 and 2003?

When you run the following command:

Get-ExchangeServer

Does it appear the Exchange 2000 and 2003?

Cheers

Viktor, yes, the physical server no longer exists and yes, when I run Get-ExchangeServer, the old server does show.

Jason, I don't have Exchange System Manager.  I'm running Exchange 2007, it has Exchange Management Console.  The tree listed in the first link that you posted isn't there.  There isn't a "Recipients" option.  There's Recipient Configuration and there's no Recipient Update Services under that.  Only Mailbox, Distribution Group, Mail Contact and Disconnect Mailbox.
