How to completely remove an Exchange 5.5 Server from a Windows 2003 domain?

I have recently inherited an environment that had a legacy Exchange 5.5 server in it.    I have migrated all mailboxes over to Office365, so there is no need for the Exchange Server anymore, but I don't have the Exchange 5.5 install media
to perform the uninstall from the domain.
Is there a way to manually remove the Exchange Server off the domain, and remove all its AD objects?

I just realized that this Exchange 5.5 Server is running on Windows 2000 Server, with an Active Directory Connector installed tying it to a single Windows 2003 Standard Active Directory Server.   Therefore the Exchange Server shows up in Sites
and Services as an AD server within my single site and forest.   This is also keeping my AD forest level at a Windows 2000 level, rather than at Windows 2003 native.
If I simply uninstall the ADC from the Windows 2000 Server running Exchange 5.5, will that remove the server from the Sites and Services and allow me to promote the Forest Functional Level to Windows 2003, so that I can then migrate the entire AD domain
up to 2012 functional levels in the near future?

  • How do I remove previous configuration of Essbase Server from Shared Services?

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to reinstall Essbase Server (on a new server; we've upgraded the Essbase Server hardware) and reload data but the current install believes I've already configured it despite removing EssbaseCluster-1 from Shared Services Application Groups.  Is there something else I have to do to get the new install of Essbase Server configured as a new Essbase instance?
    Thanks,

    I did the install as PTH0RC and my inventory.xml is configured correctly, but I get the following message trying to run a simple view

  • How to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch

    how to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch

    There's not much sense in purchasing a Mac to run only Windows on it.  Keep in mind that drivers for Windows are a secondary concern for Apple.  While Windows will typicall run fine, things like power managment are not optimized under Windows (you'll get less time on battery while running Windows).  You will also not be able to install firmware updates.  Firmware updates might be necessary whether you run Windows or OS X as they are updates to the code in your hardware and are not OS-specific.  You must be running OS X in order to install a firmware update.  You can do this even if you boot off of an external drive with OS X installed on it.  At the very least, you should keep just a small partition for OS X on your internal drive. 

  • How to completely remove Application Manager 6

    ...and all associated files so I can reinstall it.
    Here's the issue.  The Application Manager on my Mac running 10.6.8 will not launch or update or install manually.  This is the second time this issue has occured.  The first time I was able to locate instructions as to how to completely remove it but I lost that link so I'm looking for some help.
    Thanks!

    To remove the Application Manager run the Cleaner Tool and from the drop-down in the top right choose Creative Cloud. Then select Creative Cloud Installer and click the button for 'Cleanup selected'. Then next time you try to download an application from the Creative Cloud Apps page (https://creative.adobe.com/apps) you will be asked to download the Application Manager again. An alternative place to get the Application Manager for Mac is from here http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4774.
    I just ran through these steps on my Mac laptop and they worked.

  • How to completely remove the Creative packa

    I've been dealing with an ongoing issue with my Audigy2 Platinum since upgrading from W2K Pro to XP Pro. Initially, everything worked well, however, when I opted to use the WebUpdate, things rapidly fell apart... I manually removed the folders and entries in the registry, and tried re-installing, to no avail. I was able to at least access the EAX, speaker settings, and mixer from the task bar icon, but... since last updating the drivers, even that is gone, tells me the programs are not installed. I've used the repair feature on my install CD, same problem. Diagnostics tells me that only the hardware and Directsound are working, everything else fails, running the fix has no effect...
    What I need to know is a method to COMPLETELY remove everything regarding the sound card from my system, including the card, and then installing it once more, and hoping beyond hope that I can once more be able to use my card. As it stands now, regardless of what settings I employ in the Windows sound panel, only the front channels and the subwoofer work. The rest of the speakers do "hiss", but no sound is coming from them... Before updating the drivers, I was at least able to set things to 5., and get some sound from the speakers, and could use the EAX, mixer, and speaker settings panels, now I am stuck with only an effecti've 2. system regardless of what I do...
    Short of resorting to formatting and installing everything from the ground up, which isn't a viable option, how can I go about getting this confounded thing working as it should once more?
    Incidentally, the original issue cropped up nearly a year back, and contacting tech support resulted in the "cut and paste" responses. Remove driver, reinstall... did that, problem persists... Try option B... did that, problem persists... Remove driver, reinstall... did that, problem persists... Try option B... did that, problem persists... This went on for over a week until I finally got fed up and just li'ved with it. A recent game installation required me to update the drivers again, and this time, the webupdate did so, however, as a result, I effecti'vely have lost 95% of the capability of the card.
    Please help, while I still have some of my hair left here...
    Belgarius

    Yes, that sounds quite familiar. Under W2K, things worked well, although I rarely used anything outside the speaker settings, EAX, and mixer, the rest of the package was there, and appeared to work. Once I upgraded to XP Pro, things still appeared functional, at least those parts I routinely used. As a part of the update, I set about updating other items, such as the software/driver packages for the Audigy, and that's where the fun started. Once I completed the "web update", the system hard locked on rebooting, and once it was restarted, I noticed right away that my sound was hosed. I started checking, and found that nearly all of the program apps were missing. Well, not exactly missing persay, but the links led to shortcuts instead of ap
    ps.
    Once these shortcuts were inspected, I had the same "empty exes" that you mention. Making a long story short, I eventually wound up uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers several times in order to get the taskbar functions back for some of the card's features, but none of the apps ever reappeared.
    Recently, I installed a new game which required me to update to the latest sound drivers. I did so using the webupdate once more, and this time, it finished up without incident, however, I no longer have any controls available, and those mentioned in CTPanel, which is present now, are greyed out, and have no effect. Instead of my 6. system, with EAX and effects, I now effecti'vely have a non-EAX card, with only 2. for speakers.
    This coming weekend, I plan to go through the process outlined in the link provided, and see if I can at least get the base features of the card back. I was considering doing a complete format, but this is a bit much, especially in light of the fact that only the sound has been effected. Your mention that you have already went this route with the same results has led me to think that the problem lies somewhere with the software and XP. I'd really hate to have to go through the aggravation of restoring the system, and since a good bit of it would be from backups, I would no doubt restore the initial problem.
    It's sad that such a great product as the hardware is, apparently has some serious issues with either the software (many others have similar complaints) the OS it runs under, or both... Personally, I can do without the Media center and the rest of the software, but I do want the features of the card to at least function. I could have simply stayed with my old card and speaker setup, and saved myself a few hundred sheckles, and still have had about the same sound features as I now have...
    I've worked with computers for years now, and this is undoubtedly the most perplexing, and vexing issue that I have had to date, and that includes administering a network running Windows NT, 3., DOS, Clipper, and beta releases of 95...
    Sigh...

  • Anyone using rdiffweb - how to completly remove it?

    I know rdiffweb uses sqlite so there must be some db's somewhere.  I'm wondering how to completely remove all traces of rdiffweb from my system including the database.  Using pacman will remove the pacman-insalled files, but there is a config script that needs to be run to start using rdiffweb so it'll create files outside of pacman

    Do a locate for rdiffweb, its folders are probably named after the program.

  • Windows 10 needs an option to completely remove Metro/Modern UI, Apps, Live Titles and Windows Store.

    The main thing I expected for next version of Windows is an to completity remove Metro/Modern UI, Apps, Live Titles and Windows Store. Microsoft does not understand the Windows 8 bad reputation and has not learned anything.

    A little Microsoft last years history:
    Microsoft en general has good operatings systems in all segments, good office and server products, before year 2010.
    The best OS that Microsoft never ended is Longhorn:
    http://www.zdnet.com/windows-longhorn-still-the-most-exciting-windows-ui-to-date-7000007363/
    http://longhorn.ms/
    Microsoft be the first on a good mobile OS: Windows Mobile. In lastest versions of Windows Mobile, i can sync all my Exchange items, including tasks and notes. Its has a good interface with a menu, a desktop with shortcuts and more. Every new version improve
    visuals with more effects, gradients, transparencies and more. Windows Mobile are far years old than iOS or Android.
    But since year 2010, Microsoft presents Windows Phone, with and ugly user interface, with less visuals, no desktop, no notifications, no apps, no app compatibility with Windows Mobile and only sync Contacts and Email. No calendar, tasks, notes. Also the
    simplicity of the Mail app makes it unuseable.
    Now, in 2014, Windows Phone can sync Calendar, but no Tasks or Notes. Less than in Windows Mobile.
    Android is new for year 2009 and mimics desktop OS's and Windows Mobile with a desktop and gadgets. In every new version of Android i see a lot of improvements and new features. I also sync Exchange tasks and with another app, Exchange Notes. Android continues
    to mimic desktop OS's now featuring Windows on a mobile OS, but Microsoft is removing desktop features in order to a limited Metro ugly interface.
    Windows Mobile had a 30% market share and Windows Phone has a 2,5% of market share.
    With this bad and ugly OS, Microsoft completity destroys Nokia.
    With this bad reputation of an ugly and unuseable OS, Microsoft decide to put all this ugly OS to the Windows Desktop OS, with less features than older Windows OS versions,
    obtaining no more than 10% of market share, compared to the more than 50% of Windows 7 and the more than 20% of Windows XP.
    Also Microsoft remove features in every new version of every Microsoft product except in SQL Server.
    Microsoft Office removed crucial features and shows an ugly UI with ugly icons. For example, Office 2013 shows me less emails on screen than Office 2010. Also the lack of constrast and the lack of ClearType make it difficult to read.
    The UI and icons in Visual Studio with the ridicolous ALL CAPS menu are higly
    criticized by the developer community forcing Microsoft to change visuals, new icons and a Visual Studio 10 Theme. But continues flat, ugly and with less features than previous versions.
    Exchange removes the Exchange Management Console and Exchange Control Panel for an ugly web interface. More functions and commands need to do now by the Exchange Powershell cmdlet commands instead of a Visual GUI interface.
    With this bad numbers and reputacion, Microsoft also puts these ugly OS on the new XBox One, a cloud console developed for a
    house living room to show TV, movies, listen music and play games. Initially forced to always connected to Internet, Microsoft was forced to remove that and the kinect due to the poor reception of a console not developed to power games users and
    with insuffient power for actual games. Actual sales data compared to Playstation4 shows a bad and dead product like Nokia Phones.
    And now, close to year 2015, with all this bad reputation and numbers, Microsoft still continues to force to an ugly, flat and simple OS with apps and cloud. I never use cloud or put my private data on the cloud.
    With even more reason never put my company or work data on the cloud.
    I do not trust the cloud, and even less
    trust in Microsoft. Ads like Scroogled,
    make me gain more confidence in Google
    and lose even more confidence in Microsoft,
    because you need to attack the competition rather than
    focus on developing good products.
    Instead i got at least the same features on a new OS, i never upgrade.
    Less appearance settings. No advanced appearance settings like in Windows 7. No Aero. No Themes. No Customizations options. Only flat and ugly design, with bad and heavy colors that makes eye strained and lack of constrast between areas on the Window of
    an application (see Office 2013).
    Less Protect System options. No Shadow Copies or Prevoius Versions. File History is unusefull.
    Less Network options. No Network map. Less Wi-Fi features. No Bluetooth File sharing.
    No desktop games.
    General ugly UI without options. I dont like FLAT.
    Why change Windows 7 with an OS with less features like Windows 8.x and 10?
    The only new is:
    Ugly Metro/Modern UI does nobody wants and solicitated this.
    Simple apps with ADS that are practically unusefull on desktop PC and more on enterprise.
    Cloud!!! Who, in their right mind, puts his own private data on the cloud?
    Cloud!!! Who, in their right mind, puts his own company private data on the cloud?
    Nobody wants to create a Microsoft Account or use a Store of Simple apps with ADS. Nobody solicitated this but Microsoft wahts to makes money.
    Seeing the little progress
    and development of new features including
    new versions, as
    Windows Phone 7 to Windows
    Phone 8, Windows
    8 to 8.1 and 10 shows the
    reducidad capacity and
    the current difficulty of
    development by Microsoft
    counting the numerous
    layoffs and closing of
    numerous development teams.
    Serious and professional developers never develop Windows Store/Metro-Style apps.
    They develops .NET, Windows Forms Applications, WPF, MFC, C++, etc. applications.
    That is the actual technology that people are using, learning and jobs searching.
    And what Microsoft means Modern or actually:
    “Windows Store/Phone Projects”
    is technology that never wants, nobody asked and needed for.
    I never see a decent “Windows Store/Phone Projects” or a rich client app on that technology. I only see garbage, spam, ads and its the better platform for spammers, and people who want to get my money badly and with bad ways.
    “Windows Store/Phone Projects” is the best platform for thieves, crooks, swindlers and more.
    I never develop to a simply unusefull platform whit limited technologies and a platform in which Microsoft gets 20% of my work.
    I want .NET technologies, WPF, Windows Form and to create exe files. For Mobile/Tablet platform i used .apk files that not need a store to distribute them.
    I expect from next version of Windows to create local accounts and options to COMPLETITY disable Metro and Windows Store with the restore of removed features like Shadow Copies, Backup and Restore, Aero, Advanced Appearance Settings, Expand All Programs
    in Start Menu, Games apps like Solitaire, Mineswipper, Chess Titans, DVD Maker and more removed features. If Microsoft not do this, the next version of Windows continues to be another disaster like Windows 8.x and people stick with Windows XP and 7 in order
    to think about migrations to Mac OSX or Linux.
    For all who likes and defends the new Microsoft concept, please see the actual Microsoft marketshare in all segments.
    Microsoft has to think and open your eyes
    and see that from 2010 all
    new versions of their products are inferior
    products with fewer features,
    destroying and killing the product like Windows Mobile, Nokia, Windows, XBox, etc. Microsoft needs to see the marketshare of all this new products and compare with the marketshare of old products.
    It is very serious and a lot of attention
    today that Windows XP has greater
    market share than Windows 8.x for this reason
    alone should be enough for Microsoft
    to react and change all their wonderful way
    of thinking and his philosophy like
    "Devices and Services "or the
    new" Cloud first,
    Mobile First ".
    In business, one of the main premises
    is that if a product works and sold, do not change it. Microsoft is not only changing Windows, is elimintating the sale of the 50% marketshare of Windows 7 Home Premium and Ultimate edition. And
    more, for more than 2 years, Microsoft is not developing any Service Pack for Windows 7, that is unaceptable. All of this is stupid and idot and the best things to lost confidence and trust on Microsoft.
    Microsoft is doing the all things that i can do to kill a company.
    Remember those companies, like Coca-Cola, Xerox, etc. that
    were about to go bankrupt to change
    its philosophy and strategy, which worked
    very well, and failed to get up
    again until they return to its own strategy and
    philosophy of the beginning.

    Hello mushysun,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you did not sign out of your Apple ID on your iPhone before creating a new one, then you will need to sign back in with your previous Apple ID and then sign out.  If you do not remember your password and do not have access to the email account, then you can reset your password by using the security questions.
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    Have a great weekend,
