How to properly remove Exchange Server 2010 from SBS 2011 By Mariette Knap migrate, uninstall, office 365, sbs 2011 migration kit This tutorial explains how to uninstall Exchange server 2010 from an SBS 2011 if you are migrating to Windows Server 2012/2016 and Office 365 or Exchange Server 2013/2016. In a previous tutorial, I explained how you can ‘rip out’ all Exchange Server 2010 settings in Active Directory Schema but as we all know that could cause a problem. If you are looking for a guide on how to uninstall Exchange Server 2007 or 2003 from either SBS 2008 or 2003 then those are included in the migration tutorials for those specific SBS and Exchange versions. If you are going to uninstall Exchange Server 2010 from your SBS 2011 you must understand that the SBS 2011 Dashboard wizards will no longer work and RWA will be broken. If you still need RWA you can temp disable all Exchange Services, instead of uninstalling Exchange Server, but if you migrated to Office 365 make sure you remove Autodiscover settings from the AD and possibly in DNS. Here is a method for uninstalling Exchange Server 2010 the ‘graceful’ way by using ‘unattended setup’. By using the Exchange Server 2010 setup in maintenance mode we allow setup to remove all Schema changes it made when SBS 2011 was initially installed. This method is supported by Microsoft and should be used. All changes we make to the current Exchange Server 2010 installation are made from within Exchange Management Shell and we run that ‘as administrator’.
