The TAP forum responses I got was pretty much what I had already known (references to cmdlets that remove the CMS) and the same goes for the Microsoft Partner forums initially. After having no luck through spending hours trying to find documentation that outlines the process from start to finish, I began trying the Microsoft TAP and the Microsoft Partner forums.

Though I’m sure I could have used the information I found to hack away at then environment, I felt that I really wanted to figure out how to perform the uninstall without having to resort to the manual procedures required when using LDP and ADSIedit. Yes, there are bits and pieces out there that range from specific steps for part of the process and a detail blog post about how to remove all traces from Active Directory with a combination of PowerShell commands and adsiedit. I’m not sure if it’s just me but I had a hard time finding documentation that clearly outline the steps required to completely remove Microsoft Lync Server 2010 from your environment.
