In reply to Clayton – a bit late I know, but if you run the following command:

regsvr32 /u %windir%\System32\maildsmx.dll

This will get rid of the annoying message about MMC not being able to load the snap-in.

Hope this helps,

Rob

Hi Clayton,

Sorry but I can’t remember doing anything particularly special – although the Exchange support tools didn’t function after the upgrade, the uninstall process went fine as far as I can remember.

My only suggestion would be that it requires the IIS 6 management tools – perhaps installing that feature will then let you run the uninstall.

Sorry I can’t be more help,

Rob

Hi, I was wondering how you managed to uninstall the exchange 2003 tools from your dc after the upgrade to 2008. I also forgot I had it installed and when I try to uninstall it, it fails with some errors on prepping the domain. My google-fingers are tired so I came back to your blog here which was one of the first (and only) places I’ve found that described this specific situation.

Any ideas?
