Hi.

I'm trying to uninstall Exchange Server 2007 from a computer. So I have read
the article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/927464.

I have some Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2007 servers. In the computer that I
want to uninstall Exchange 2007, I ran the moveallreplicas.ps1 script
yesterday, but it still has replicas. So, I have used the method 2 of the kb
article, I mean, I move the replicas using the Exchange management console
from an Exchange 2003 server. But with no result.

So, I can't uninstall Exchange 2007 because every time I try, I get this
message:

"Uninstall cannot continue. Database 'Public Folder Database': The public
folder database "server2\Second Storage Group\Public Folder Database"
contains folder replicas. Before deleting the public folder database, remove
the folders or move the replicas to another public folder database. For
detailed instructions about how to remove a public folder database, see
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=81409."

Do you know how can I delete all those replicas? I'm exhausted, I have spent
too long on this, I don't find a way to delete them.

All Exchange 2007 are SP1.
