I didn't delate the source folders but I have changed the path anyway

RRAS starts and stops without error. CEICW fails & says that the N/W,
Firewall & Website configured OK but the E-Mail Config failed. No trace
of messages in the logs though. There is probably a clue in there
somewhere - Pretty admin aggressive this is!!!!

In the status view it shows The Exchange Server First Admin Group as
Available. In its properties it shows the Default Exchange Server as
Stopped, In the details in there it shows all the parts as Running. What
gives...

There is one test mailbox there with a few test e-mails in it. So its OK
to trash the installation and start again. But will it pick up a hosed
configuration out of the registry if I do that? I can't afford the time
or the upheaval to wipe the server and rebuild it from scratch. The
machine is live as a file and print server so I'll schedule a reboot for
later tonight to see if that sorts it out.

I post what happens then.

;-} Ken
