Dear all I have a sbs 2003 with exchange 2003 sp2 (6.5.7638) I need to remove exchange from the server as it is no longer needed and the space on the system disk is running low (I have deleted all the user mailboxes) however when I go into add / programs there are no entries for microsoft exchange, is the process to remove exchange from sbs server different from a normal windows server?

Is there an entry for Windows Small Business Server 2003? To add or remove components in an SBS installation, you should open your control panel to Add/Remove programs, and select Windows Small Business Server 2003. This will launch the integrated setup wizard which will allow you to check and uncheck the components you wish to install or remove.

Hi Mika_MCSE, Any updates? More information: "To remove Exchange Server 2003 from the Source Server, click Windows® Small Business Server 2003 in Add or Remove Programs. If you have an R2 box you are looking for the "non R2" line. Once the installer has brought up the component screen, choose Exchange and then click Remove."

I have see Windows Small Business Server 2003 in the in the add remove programs list, when I click on change/remove I get a wizard (welcome to sbs setup) I hit next a few times and then I get a windows configuration reading this will take approx 30 mins, I was expecting a list of components and were I could select to choose exchange for uninstall, but this windows looks as though sbs will uninstall?
