I've been through the entire process outlined for removing the last legacy Exchange server and I've reached the step of uninstalling Exchange. I've been getting "Access denied" error messages when the uninstall attempts to remove registry entries. Here's a relevant portion of the setup logs. Ideas?? The operation has completed successfully.
