Dear all,
I have two mailbox servers, when I try to uninstall mailbox server roll on the exchange 2010 Mailbox server1 I get below error msg.
Failed
Error:
This Mailbox server is responsible for generating an Offline Address Book. Removal of the Mailbox role is not permitted
If I move an offline Address book from Mailbox server1 to Mailbox server2 then I guess it should be okay?
Also get below error msg as well, do I need to take care of anything else before I remove the mailbox server role ?
Error:
Setup cannot continue with the uninstall because the 'beremote' () process (ID: 2076) has open files. Close the process and restart Setup.
Thanks !!!

You need to move the OAB Gen option from Server 1 to 2.
Check which process it is complaining about with the ID using task manager. It will mostly be powershell windows.

'beremote' is probably Backup Exec remote agent.
Try stop this service before uninstall Exchange.

Hi Ms-2010,
Before you uninstall the first Exchange 2010 Server, you need to fix few prerequisites warning/errors for a clean uninstallation.
Four points should be considered:
1. Change the OAB (Offline Address Book) generation role to other available server.
2. Remove the server from DAG membership.
3. Move the Arbitration mailboxes to another available Mailbox Server.
4. Ensure that none of the databases are using public folder of this server as default and Move Public folder replica to other available mailbox server.
Hope it is helpful.
Best regards,
Eric

Dear all,
I have moved the Arbitration maiilbox to Server 2, clients are not using outlook 2003 so we don't need the public folder. I have removed the public folder from the mailbox server 1.
When i try to move OAB from the server 1 to 2 i do get below error msg.
"Property LastTouchedTime can't be set on this object because it requires the object to have version 0.10 (14.0.100.0) or later. The object's current version is 0.0 (6.5.6500.0)"
When i try to create a new OAB i get below error msg.
"You can't specify the recipient container because legacy servers are detected"
We had done migration from the exchange 2003 to 2010 and successfully decommissioned the exchange 2003.
I have looked via ADSI Editor and "CN=Server" object still exits under First Administrative Group, which refers to exchange 2003.
Can i remove the "CN=Servers" or "Exchange 2003" within the "CN=Servers"?
Many thanks for your help..

If no legacy Exchange exist, backup your DC and you can remove "Servers" container, that can resolve some issues with public folders.
