Uninstall Exchange Server 2007
Hi,
I want to completely uninstall Exchange Server 2007. I have removed user mailboxes, removed public folder database, removed user mailbox database, removed storage group, deleted offline address book and removed exchange administrative group, but when I want to uninstall the server from I get this message:
Error:
Exchange server "SERVER NAME" was not found. Please make sure you have typed it correctly.
![Error]()
The server name is correct.
How can I then uninstall the server?
Thanks,
Ronnie

Pete,
the server name is the server I'm performing the uninstall on.

Daryl,
yes, they are...

Maybe you can reinstall the server and run a /Mode:RecoverServer switch, after the installation you can try to uninstall it the correct way.
This is for 2019, but steps on that should still be same:

If that fails, try these steps:

If its an old dead server then remove it from AD using ADSIEdit and perform the uninstall again :)
I only have one - if you have a second entry for this server delete it from here;
