W2K3 SP1 / E2k3 I had someone else do an exchange install and now I have some horrendous problems. They just blew past all the errors on the install instead of trying to correct before continuing. I cannot remove exchange by just de-installing because I get a number of errors. If I manually remove Exchange from the server, can I then install again or do I have to do anything else? Also, if the machine has W2K3 SP1, the only fix I need before installing E2K3 SP1 is: KB913446? Please you help is most appreciated.
I would first try re installing Exchange over itself. If this does not fix the problems you might be able to get it to the point where you can uninstall it. hth DDS W 2k MVP MCSE "-harri" wrote in message news:0E129D3E-12D2-4CE8-8BCF-D99DA231DC8E@microsoft.com... > > W2K3 SP1 / E2k3 > > I had someone else do an exchange install and now I have some horrendous > problems.

Hi, It is best if you can uninstall - this way the server will also be removed from active directory. If you can't uninstall I would recommend to remove the server from AD (http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;278918 ) and then start all over with the server (format etc). After installing windows sp1 you need to install the hotfix from 913446.
