An MCSE came in, who works with ACCPAC, to install Ver 5.2, https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/23499696/Getting-errors-such-as-ID-no-8000ffff-when-uninstalling-Exchange-2003-with-2007-in-production.html which interacts with IBM DB/2. Due to his limited skills and knowledge, which came out, he renamed the server to SERVERHALD without removing Exchange 2003, thus leaving exchange very unhappy. He then tried by demoting the server via dcpromo, deleted the folder EXCHSRVR, then recreated the domain. However, the system still has users named IUSR_600 SERVER and IWAM_600SERVER.Exchange will not install, the Component Messages are an unexpected error occured, ID no. 8000ffff, for http://forums.msexchange.org/m_140062900/tm.htm all of exchange, ie system management tools, exchange messaging and collaboration service, exchange domain preparation and exchange forest preperation.To top it off, he has heavily modified the system, installing DB/2 and convertig all the ACCPAC files, and did not make a backup prior to working on the system.The system had only been live for one week, with everything working smoothly as a server, prior to him coming in and attempting to do his stuff. All the users have been deleted, (dcpromo demotion), do not want to have to reinstall ACCPAC, or reformat the system.Any ideas,help would be appreciated on getting Exchange working. The MCSE and the company he works for are no longer welcome in our office.Thanks!

My suggestion is you hire a good experienced consultant with plenty of years in the field (instead of a Paper MCSE)to come help you clean up the mess which the other guy created.

uninstalling Exchange 2000 I got the following prompt appear:Every I clicked on in the showed the following error:Setup failed http://clintboessen.blogspot.com/2009/10/exchange-2000-error-0x8000ffff.html while (error 0x8000FFFF: An unexpected error occurred.) .Additional information:An unexpected error http://www.textndata.com/forums/removing-exchange-2003-a-684745.html occurred.ID no: 8000ffffMicrosoft Exchange SetupFunction:CComExchSetupComponent::HrPromptForCDIfNecessaryCComExchSetupComponent::InstallI have uninstalled Exchange 2000 many times through Add and Remove programs and never had this before - really weird. The fix for this was to run the exchange setup application of the exchange 2000 CD under D:\Setup\i386\setup.exe, and selecting an unexpected remove for all exchange components. Maybe the installation files on drive c: were corrupt?
