You could try a reinstallation using Setup.com /Mode:RecoverServer, then try uninstalling again.Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Hi Timsa,
Ed’s suggestion is good. Please follow his suggestion to have a try.
RecoverServer
Use this mode when there has been a catastrophic failure of a server, and you need to recover data. You must install a server using the same fully qualified domain name (FQDN) as the failed server, and then run Setup with the /m:RecoverServer switch.
Don't specify the roles to restore. Setup detects the Exchange Server object in Active Directory and installs the corresponding files and configuration automatically. After you recover the server, you can restore databases and reconfigure any additional settings.
To run in RecoverServer mode, you can't have Exchange installed on the server. The Exchange server object must exist in Active Directory. You can only
use this mode during an unattended installation.
