INTRODUCTION
If you use the Setup program for Microsoft Exchange Server to remove Exchange Server from your computer, you may lose public folder content. If your computer hosts the last replica of a public folder store, the data will be lost when you remove Exchange Server.



MORE INFORMATION
The Setup program does not scan for existing data when you choose to remove Exchange Server from your computer.

The Setup program does look for Active Directory directory service objects that are configured with Exchange attributes. If the Setup program discovers such Active Directory objects, the Setup program quits, and then the Setup program generates an error message.
