Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 setup cannot continue because its attempt to uninstall the cluster passive node failed.

The Exchange clustered management services are owned by this cluster node. Exchange 2007 setup requires that the Exchange clustered management services be moved from this node before the Exchange files can be removed.

To resolve this issue, move all cluster-managed resources owned by this node, including non-Exchange Server cluster resources, to another node in the cluster, or take them offline, and then rerun setup.

For more information about how to move the Exchange related clustered managed services, see the "Move-ClusteredMailboxServer" (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=86627) cmdlet topic in the Exchange Server 2007 product documentation.

For more information about how to take the Exchange-related clustered managed services offline, see the "Stop-ClusteredMailboxServer" (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=86635) cmdlet topic in the Exchange Server 2007 product documentation.

For more information about managing non-Exchange cluster resources, see "Manage Resources" (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=86637) in the Windows Server 2003 Product Help.
