We have an intranet domain where an Exchange 2013 was installed for testing purposes. This is no more used and can be deactivated. Now I need to format the server where Exchange was installed. I'd like to know if there are preliminary actions to perform... do I need to uninstall exchange? What about active directory? Thank you

You cannot undo the prep of the domain. However you need to remove Exchange properly, so any future installations do not cause a problem.

Mail disable everything you can, so user, groups and contacts. Note that is DISABLE - delete will remove the AD object as well. You can then remove Exchange using add/remove programs.

If there is anything left, then the installer will stop and tell you - just clear through everything it asks for until the uninstall goes through.
