Ok?the problem seemed to be with Microsoft Exchange Messaging and Collaboration Services since during the reinstall it was showing a red x. Also, from Event ID 1002 as shown below the EXIFS was the main problem. I mentioned this issue again to the last MS Engineer I spoke with and it happens that today he also had a customer with similar problem on SBS 2003 but he said it is most likely the same issue I am having. So he asked to go to:
C:\Windows\System32\Drivers
Rename the following files exifs.sys and exifssmsg.dll. to *.old
After renaming both files I ran the Reinstall of MS Exchange 2003 Enterprise and everything was ok?.the ESM now shows Enterprise and I see Event ID 1217.

Issue 2: Removing Exchange 2003
After that a new error message apperas 0xc0070425

You rename old to dll again and old to sys, and press "Continue"

The installer succesfully uninstall Exchange 2003 from an older on-premise server

Types of backup

BACKUP FOR SYSTEM HARDWARE FAILURE
1. You need a backup (use ntbackup and make a full backup on sunday  - stopping exchange services with a script), call the file Exchange Full SysRecovery Backup.bkf

BACKUP FOR Recovery Storage Groups
2. You'll also need a full backup with Exchange services running.  It means "select checkboxes" on the side of "Exchange Information Store" when you select the scope of Ntbackup, call the file Exchange Full IS Backup.bkf

For use this instructions you need the second type of backup listed and at least Exchange 2003 SP2 installed

Steps:
1. Connect an USB or USB Hard disk drive with almost USB 2.0 and at least free same with the same size of priv1.edb or priv1.stm
2. Create a folder G:\Recovery
3. Start Exchange System Manager
4. Browse to Servers - ServerName - First Storage Group
5. Right Clic on First Storage Group and clic "New Recovery Storage Groups", go to General Tab and point both "Transaction Log Location" and "System Path Location" to G:\Recovery (USB)
6. Now clic on "Recovery Storage Group" and right clic to "Add Database to Recover", select your Database the default it's called "Mailbox Store"
7. Now go to "Database Tab" and be sure to have checked "The database can be overwritten by a restore"
8. Now open ntbackup.exe, go to Restore Tab, look for more recent Catalog file of "Exchange Full IS Backup", and check "Mailboxes and LogFiles", clic Start Restore. You'll be asked to select the "hostname" of your production server or a temporary server (more complex), create a second folder on drive G:\ called temp, so you can point the "Temporary location for log and..." to G:\temp
9. I've recomend to mark both checkboxes "Last restore set (Log File Replay)" and mount to finish.
10. Wait until restoration is Finished
11. Wait at least 5 minutes to see the "Recovery Storage GRoup" mounted and two subfolers "mailboxes and logon"
12. When you can access to Mailbox subfolder, you'll notice that all mailboxes are marked as "deleted" with a "Red X"
13. You right clic on one or select several mailboxes and you'll open a wizard of Exchange Tasks called "Recover Mailbox Data", clic on next, select the "Destination Storage Group\Database", clic next
14. Select Merge to copy only "missing items", if you chose Copy you'll create duplicates of all elements even if exist on the destination. Clic Next
15. You can schedule the task, or can clic next to start the process
16. That's all, only inexistent items will be restored, it could take more time than just copying but is better for the final user

MAPI exception network error Migrating Exchange 2003 to 2010 on Windows SBS 2011

Fuente: http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Server_Software/Email_Servers/Exchange/Q_26444649.html 
Hello.

I finally found a solution.

Simply turn off the RPC filter in ISA 2004. Then is Local move request function without uninstalling ISA server.

Problem is in different RPC specification between W2k3, W2k3SP1, W2k3SP2...

I found some patches from MS, but in my case on it no longer matters.

As I migrate mailboxes from 2003 to 2010 I'm finding that when a move fails due to exceeding the baditem limit, the problem items are almost always calendar items from years back.

.\MoveMailbox –Identity user -TargetDatabase 'Mailbox Database 2012040517' -BadItemLimit 999999
