Hello all,

I'm currently doing some consulting work for a small real estate firm, and
as part of that they've asked me to help migrate their email over to an
Exchange system and installing a BES server. The server was configured
about 2 years ago by a different company, and after I had setup the
accounts for everyone I was having issues with Public Folders and the
Offline Address List and thus decided to reinstall. I started by
uninstalling Exchange and everything seemed to be fine. I then started up
the Add/Remove components wizard again and set it up to reinstall
Exchange, popped in the CD, etc... However, about halfway through the
install I got an error about the IIS Store not registering correctly, and
was prompted with the "Cancel", "Retry". Retrying results in the same
error, but after a cancel it proceeds and finishes the install with the
same error message at the end. I attributed this to a fluke and
uninstalled again, and then reinstalled and was prompted with the same
error. I read through a few KB articles at this point and thought perhaps
it had to do with IIS , and used this article 325889. To try and resolve
the issue. This still did not solve the problem and now when uninstalling
I get the error

Code:

"Setup failed while
installing
sub-component Exchange ActiveSync with error code 0X80072030 (please
consult
the installation log for detailed description). You may cancel the
installation or try the failed step again." I have to cancel, retry does
no
good.

and something identical for OMA. I'm at a loss as for what to do, and
would really prefer to avoid a reinstall as I would have to setup numerous
AntiVirus, Backup, and Database utilities. I have error logs available if
they're needed.

Thank you for your time in advance

I have in fact tried reinstalling using the /DisasterRecovery and /
Reinstall switches. Disaster Recovery seems to work, but I'm unable to
get the Microsoft Exchange Information Store Service to start, and
Reinstall gives the same error about halfway through. I've tried
uninstalling and reinstalling IIS to no avail, but that did nothing to
help the problem.

I can see how the CEICW would setup the OMA and ActiveSync
directories, but do you think that would fix the errors I'm having
with not being able to start the Information Store service?
