How do I remove a new 2007 Exchange server?
Iinstalled a new 2007 Exchange server to start the process of migrating my 2003 Exchange server data to. Well I noticed after the install that I forgot to change the default install path to the drive I designated for my Exchange server. I tried to uninstall the 2007 Exchange server but I cannot seem to get the mailbox role removed and am having a ton of problems getting this version of Exchange uninstalled. Any ideas how I can get the thing uninstalled so I can reinstall to the proper drive partition??

Have you removed all of your databases? It won't remove if you've got data in them. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb123893(EXCHG.80).aspx Also, if the server from which you are removing Exchange has the Mailbox server role installed, make sure you have either deleted, disabled, or moved all mailboxes, public folders, and public folder replicas to another Mailbox server. If you remove the public folder database, make sure that you complete all the steps to move the data and remove the database. Depending on the size of the database, this could take a significant amount of time. For instructions about how to remove a public folder database, see How to Remove a Public Folder Database.
