I am trying to uninstall Exchange 2003 but need to remove the routing connector first (2003-2007). When i run the remove command

PS C:\Users\administrator.ms1> Remove-RoutingGroupConnector -Identity "Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)\DCMAIL07-DCMAIL" -DomainController dc.ms1.com

I get the following error

The term 'Remove-RoutingGroupConnector' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable p
rogram. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

+ Remove-RoutingGroupConnector <<<< -Identity "Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)\DCMAIL07-DCMAIL"
-DomainController dc.ms1.com
+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (Remove-RoutingGroupConnector:String) [], CommandNotFoundException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : CommandNotFoundException

I have tried changing the directory path to the folder where scripts are stored by default PS C:\Program Files\Microsoft\Exchange Server\Scripts> but not helping. I have however noticed that the script 'Remove-RoutingGroupConnector' is not in the scripts directory neither is it on the exchange 2007 media.

Can anyone help me with where or how to get this script so i can complete my exchange 2007 installation

Many thanks

What I know from that error is that it does not know what to do.

You will need to remove the connector that point 2003 to 2007 first and then remove the connector 2007 to 2003.

ie. remove-routinggroupconnector -id "first administrative group\first routing group\e2k3-e2k7"

then
Remove-RoutingGroupConnector -Identity "Exchange Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)\DCMAIL07-DCMAIL"

Thanks for the response. After searching for couple of days finally found the cause of my problem Its because the Exchange admin powershell snap in was not installed even though registered. Instructions at he blog http://www.anisjendoubi.com/tag/add-pssnapin/ helped through solving problem. Below are the instructions

1) check if you have the Exchange Server Admin Tasks installed by firing the following command under powershell (or Exchange Management Shell)

Get-PSSnapin

2) most propably after the above command you will not find it in the list so check what you don�t have enabled in the PSSnapin by firing the command below:

Get-PSSnapin -registered

3) Now to install the appropriate �Admin Tasks for the exchange Server� run the command below:

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.E2010

NOTE: for MS Exchange 2007 you should change the point (3) to a command like the one below:

Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.Exchange.Management.PowerShell.Admin
