Exchange 2003 -> 2010 Upgrade -- Uninstall of 2003 failed -- half uninstalled.
Greetings,
Performing a Exchange 2003 -> 2010 Upgrade
All went well, followed Technet instructions.
Went to uninstall Exchange 2003 and received and error during uninstall of 2003, it looked like it was going to cancel the installation (and the dialog said that) now it seems half uninstalled.
Exchange no longer in Programs so can not run uninstall again. Some part are there, some are gone. Do not care about the server but want to get it out of AD.
Can not find uninstall logs.
Any help would be appreciated.

Great thanks, just what I needed. It worked well.
I even read the whole thing. Good thing too because it was in the wrong order. If you follow the instructions I would have deleted the Exchange install and the management tools too. Then I would have never been able to pull it out of AD.
Thanks Again...
