SYMPTOMS
If you do not stop all Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server services on all cluster nodes before you uninstall Exchange 2000 from a node in a cluster, error messages appear, and Setup cannot uninstall all Exchange 2000 components.



CAUSE
This behavior is by design. You must stop all Exchange 2000 services in the cluster before you perform an uninstall procedure. The error message you receive during this process may vary depending upon which service is left running.



RESOLUTION
Use Cluster Administrator to manually stop Exchange 2000 services, and then begin the uninstall procedure.
