Can you tell me how you are uninstalling - through command line or GUI.

I cannot see any error in the logs other than unexpected errors.

Is this server has a multi role installed exchange server?

Can you also check the below points?

1. have you deleted all mailbox database from that server

2. Have you deleted Public folder database.

3. Remove the offline address book replication

4. Check the send/receive connectors still configured on this server.

Please refer the below blogs

Hi James. Thanks so much for your reply.

I tried the command line and the GUI.

I also download the latest Exchange 2010 install file and tried the uninstall from there using the command line and the GUI.

I have generated a new setup log and attached it here.

There are no mailboxe databases on this server.

I can't see any PF databases on this server.

Can you elaborate more on the OAB replication?

There are only the default receive connectors on this server.
