Thanks for the tip Michael. Running from the original CD did the trick!

This issues goes back a few weeks, so I'm including the original question below. The reply I received said to just uninstall Exchange on the 2003 OWA box and that latter I could uninstall the Last Legacy Exchange Server. So, I tried to uninstall Exchange on just the OWA server through add/remove programs, but I get this error: "Setup failed while installing the sub-component Microsoft Windows Active Directory schema update with error code 0xC1037986 (please consult the installation logs for a detailed description). Any ideas on what to do now? Thanks, Andy Leedy Messaging Systems Engineer Butler Animal Health Supply From: Leedy, Andy Sent: Wednesday, December 31, 2008 1:27 PM To: exchangelist@lyris.sunbelt-software.com Subject: OWA 2003 removal? We installed 4 new Exchange 2007 servers (2 CAS/HUB and 2 Mailbox) into our existing Exchange 2003 organization. We had and still do have 2 Exchange 2003 servers, one of which is just an OWA box. All the mailboxes are moved, but we're still not ready to remove the "Last Legacy Server" yet. However, I would however like to decommission the OWA box. Can someone tell me what the procedure is? Is it just do an uninstall of Exchange on the OWA box?
