Uninstalling a single copy cluster (SCC) involves removing the clustered mailbox server (CMS), optionally removing the Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 installation files, and optionally decommissioning the cluster that hosted the CMS.

In a single copy cluster that contains more than one CMS, there is a specific removal order that must be followed. Specifically, the first CMS installed in the cluster must always be the last CMS that is uninstalled. This is because, even though the message transfer agent (MTA) instance and functionality has been removed from Exchange 2007, the name of the first CMS that is installed in a failover cluster is still designated as the responsible MTA for itself and every other CMS in the same failover cluster. Therefore, before you can uninstall the first CMS that was installed in the failover cluster, you must first uninstall all other CMS' that are in the failover cluster. For detailed steps to determine the first CMS that was installed in the cluster, see Ermitteln des ersten Postfachclusterservers, der in einem Einzelkopiecluster installiert wurde.
