I need to remove the Exchange 2010 Mailbox role from my server.
Ran the setup.com /m:uninstall and the uninstall process fails with the following message:

I ran the "get-mailbox -arbitration | fl name, identity"
Got the Identity and ran the following remove-mailbox ... commands but I am running into Active Directory issues.
What should I do to remove the software from my system?
