Can you see the Exchange server object in AD using a tool such as ADSI Edit?

Hallo Henrik, I can see follow : ADSI Edit - Default naming context [SERVER.HELLER.local] - DC=HELLER, DC=local - CN=Builtin - CN=Computers - OU=Domain controlers - CN=SERVER - CN=NTFRS Subscriptions - CN=Domain system volume (SYSVOL share) - CN=ForeignSecurityPrincipals - CN=LostAndFound - OU=Microsoft Exchange Security Groups - CN=Exchange Organization Administrators - CN=Exchange Public Folder Administrators - CN=Exchange Recipient Administrators - CN=Exchange Servers - There are no items to show in this view - CN=Exchange View-Only Administrators - CN=ExchangeLegacyInterop - CN=Microsoft Exchange System Objects - CN=Exchange Install Domain Servers - There are no items to show in this view - CN=NTDS Quotas - CN=Program Data - CN=Systems - CN=Useres

It looks like you've connected to the domain naming context, whereas you'd need to connect to the configuration naming context to drill down under the Exchange configuration. The article below isn't for your problem, but Figure 1 and the text immediately above it will nudge you in the right direction tolocate the information you require. http://www.msexchange.org/articles/Public-Folder-Replication-Troubleshooting.html

Hallo Neil, my problem is probably I dont have definiet any Server in : CN=Configuration, DC=HELLER, DC=local CN=Services CN=Microsoft Exchange CN=HELLER CN=Administrative Groups CN=Exchange Administrative Group(FYDIBOHF23SPDLT) CN=Servers - There are no items to see in this view What can I repair it ? Need I install-definiet at first a new Server and then uninstall completly my Exchange Server 2007 SP1 ? What way I need to use tomake the installation ? Thanks !

If the E2K7 server object doesn't exist in AD it has been properly uninstalled from AD. If you cannot get all E2K7 bits and services removed from the server itself, I would perform a reinstall of the OS and start over.

I prefer Henriks suggestion, anyway, the method below is another option for you Manually Remove Exchange 2007 Notes: If you cannot remove Exchange 2007 by using Add/Remove Programs, you can use Registry Editor to remove the Exchange entries from the registry. 1. On the install CD go to the root right click on ExchangeServer.MSI and right click to choose Uninstall 2. Stop and disable the Exchange 2007 services 3. Use Registry Editor to remove the Exchange registry keys 4. Start->Run->regedit 5. Locate the following registry key: a. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Exchange b. Right-click Exchange, and then click Delete. Click Yes in the Confirm Key Delete dialog box c. Repeat steps b and c for each of the keys containing keyword Exchange or MSEXchange under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services 6. Remove and reinstall the Internet Information Services (IIS) component 7. Remove the Exchange 2007 server from Active Directory [You may skip this step since its already been remove from ADSIEditor]
