Hello all, i keep having an exchange 2013 setup fail at step 7. How can i remove this setup from AD? not sure where to start, detailed instructions would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Try to use Setup.exe /mode:Uninstall /IAcceptExchangeServerLicenseTerms .

This command completely removes Exchange 2013 from the server and removes this server's Exchange configuration from Active Directory.
