During the removal of an Exchange 2003 cluster I found an issue after the removal of Trend Micro Scanmail (SMEX) 8.0. After the deinstallation was completed the Cluster Administrator started with an error. Once of the things I expected to cause the issue was the resource object from SMEX which was still there. This could be solved easily by removing the default procedure for removing cluster resources.
Despite removing the resource the Cluster Administrator kept prompting with and error. After some research I discovered that the issue was caused by a resource type clusRDLL which was still their.
To cleanup this resource type you will need to use the cluster command:
cluster restype clusRDLL /delete /type
After this command was executed the error did dissapear and I could remove the Exchange 2003 Virtual Server.
