Exchange 2007 on SBS 2008 Extreme help needed!

Hello guys I am facing an extremely serious issue here.

2 night ago I rebooted my server and it installed updates. Once rebooted the next morning users were saying email wasn't working. 

So I looked around and found that my OWA was no longer pointing to SBS Web Applications but rather Default Web Site. 

After tinkering with my IIS I noticed that whatever the updates did broke more than just IIS. I was no longer able to access any of my Exchange features. 

 

After many unsuccessful tries to upgrade the Exchange to SP3 my Exchange server is now broken. 

So I was left with no option but to uninstall the Exchange portion of SBS2008.

 

Exchange is no longer detected on my DC but here is the issue I am facing.

 

When rebooting this VM it takes over 1 hour to reboot (don't ask why I don't know what happened, it just all of a sudden became very slow)

 

When I try to install Exchange with Setup.exe the setup window pops up but does not respond. 

When I run setup.com /m:install /roles:h,c,m,t /organizationgroup:"first organization group" 

It starts the setup but returns an error saying that IIS is not available or not installed. 

 

When I try to start IIS I get an error telling me that the service stopped correctly but was not able to restart.

 

I cannot go to services.msc because the machine just freezes.

 

I have been looking for something to perhaps uninstall the IIS role and reinstall it via the Powershell but I can't find anything. 

 

I tried 

 

Remove-WindowsFeature iis

 

it tells me the command is not found.

 

I am in desperate need of some assistance I don't know what to do anymore. 

 

Reinstalling the server is not an option I need to be able to get Exchange back up and running on this server, IIS seems to be blocking me. 

 

Does anyone have any insight
