I was attempting to do the initial Exchange installation, after which I will go back and check the box to make it an FE.
It's during the installation that it blows up. Nice catch Tim, but yes...the account is a Domain, Enterprise, Schema and Exchange admin. The complete and total error message was: The component "Microsoft Exchange Messaging and Collaboration Services" cannot be assigned the action "install" because: "You must have write access to the local registry and the Remote Registry Service must be started" On 3/6/07, Ed Crowley [MVP] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Good question. You shouldn't have to install anything to make an Exchange server a front-end server. All you need to is to select the checkbox in the server's property page in Exchange System Manager.

It also runs the AV console for administering the AV on the mailbox server, handles the encryption services in and out of the domain, and is the OWA Admin server. Problem: I'm trying to actually install the Exchange software on the FE and designate it as such, but when I do that, I get the following error message from the install application: "You must have write access to the local registry and the Remote Registry Service must be started" I have looked at the permissions on the server and I have full permissions. I have opened reged32 and given myself explicit Full Control to the HKLM registry hive. I have rebooted the machine three times. The SMTP, NNTP, IIS, WWW and Remote Registry services are all running. I have Googled and can't find anything. Anyone got any ideas?
