The KB only says how to move replicas to another server.

Not remove them completely if you are permanently removing exchange.

Yep, this article only moves the replicas.

Is there no way you can uninstall exchange??????

Your help sucks. I really need to remove exchange permantently.

1.  Please keep at least one administrator mail box to remove public folder first!

2.  From Exchange 2007 shell command

run following 3 commands:

Get-PublicFolder -Server <your server name>  "\" -Recurse -ResultSize:Unlimited | Remove-PublicFolder -Server ex2007 -Recurse -ErrorAction:SilentlyContinue

Get-PublicFolder -Server <your server name>  "\Non_Ipm_Subtree" -Recurse -ResultSize:Unlimited | Remove-PublicFolder -Server EX2007 -Recurse -ErrorAction:SilentlyContinue

Disable-Mailbox  all mail box in last Exchange 2007

3. Remove your Exchange 2007 from add/remove

Wang you help workt just GREAT!!!

there where only 2 typo's

Get-PublicFolder -Server <your server name>  "\" -Recurse -ResultSize:Unlimited | Remove-PublicFolder -Server <your server name>  -Recurse -ErrorAction:SilentlyContinue

Get-PublicFolder -Server <your server name>  "\Non_Ipm_Subtree" -Recurse -ResultSize:Unlimited | Remove-PublicFolder -Server <your server name>  -Recurse -ErrorAction:SilentlyContinue

if you replace <your server name>  with the name of your server all works fine (need to replace it 4 times)

Thanks, Wang and Eric

Your help did work (I used the corrected scripts that Eric published)

So gret job, many thanks Wang, uninstalling was a really pain in my ass, with your command it's as easy as unintsalling office .

These commands finaly makes it happen to remove exchange 2007! Thanks! Just what I was looking for for a long time.

I tried the commands, with the chnages that Eric made, and I am still unable to get this off of my server. I am ready to nuke the server completely and start from scratch.

Wang you rock you are the bomb final some one that knows his stuff

Wang o de tango! You are my Hero too - I completely destroyed one system and had to re-install from bare metal before I found this thread. The second un-install went smooth as Silk thanks to these commands!

Thanks a BUNCH!

Thanks Wang. you are a life saver

Thanks Wang. I had wasted some days to remove exchange  2007.

Thanks Wang, I too have been trying to get Exchange 2007 off my server. Microsoft assumes that you will never need to completly get this thing completly off your server, I guess. Your trick worked perfectly.

Do these steps only remove the Replicas on that one Public Folder server, or do these steps remove the folders from ALL Public Folder servers?
