Hello experts,
I need to remove Exchange 2003 from an old physical server I have taken over in order to gracefully demote it.
I've already removed Exchange 2003 in the past, so I already know that during the uninstall I will need to provide the location where the original Microsoft Exchange setup files may be found or the original Microsoft Exchange 2003 disc 1.
Like I said, I have taken over the old physical server I need to remove Exchange 2003 from and unfortunately I can't find neither the location where the original Microsoft Exchange setup files may be found (the original installation path indicated in the Exchange Server Setup Progress.log installation log file is no longer there) nor the original Microsoft Exchange 2003 disc 1.
Software version currently installed is Microsoft Exchange 2003 SP2, but unfortunately I don’t know what
software version was originally installed.
I gathered a bunch of lines stating "Starting Exchange 6944 setup" and "Starting Exchange 7638 setup" in the Exchange Server Setup Progress.log installation log file:

Which Microsoft Exchange 2003 disc would you recommend in order to remove it ?
Any help/information will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Massimiliano
