I am trying to uninstall Exchange 2007 for a client as they have decided to use Gmail from now on.
I have been going through some errors like the transport connector and the watermark and now I am hitting another wall. I got these errors:
"Error: Uninstall cannot continue. Database 'Mailbox Database': This mailbox database contains one or more mailboxes. To get a list of all mailboxes in this database, run the command Get-Mailbox -Database .

My concern is if I disable the mailboxes, the emails that are being forwarded to Gmail might not reach their owners?
