Wow... seems overkill... and why exactly do you need to uninstall
Exchange to fix DNS? I have always been able to fix DNS problems by
itself... manually uninstalling Exchange (especially with all the LDAP
stuff to manually remove in Active Directory) is a pain in the neck. I
thought that different services are fixed separately... no need to
reinstall one so that another works... only need to configure both right
to interact with each other. No?

Marvin-
i think that i know what your problem is if:
- you are running your own MS DNS server (probably on the domain
controller).
- the exchange machine is on a different hardware from the DC.
- you have only one domain controller. (probably)
i am pretty sure that this problem is an effect of not having DNS setup
100% correct. the exchange server and active directory domain
controller cannot find each other, which is what is causing the problem.
Clients can still resolve names, ect, but if you look more closely, it
isnt entirely working (with regard to AD). there is a DNS tool in the 2K
server reskit that will help you to confirm this (unfortunately, i dont
recall its name right now).
if this is actually the case, to fix it you will need to manually
uninstall the exchange installation (Q260378), fix DNS, (putting in
another DC to test is a good idea since i believe that another DC wont
install either without DNS being fixed), and then reinstall exchange
(being sure to run domain prep, ect.). everything should work fine
then. ..assuming that this is actually the problem.
anyway, hope this helps. good luck!
