Cant uninstall Exchange 2k
Hey all, get the following message when i try and uninstall Exchange 2k. Error Message Setup failed while (error 0x80005000: An invalid ADSI pathname was passed.) . Additional information: An invalid ADSI pathname was passed. ID no: 80005000 Microsoft Exchange Setup Microsoft Exchange Messaging and Collaboration Services Function: ScGetCurrentFlavorOfSetupInstalled CCompServer::ScPreSetup CComExchSetupComponent(%s)::PreInstall /Error Message I cant work out what the problem is, going through the log file for the setup program, it has entries stating that SMTP NNTP arnt installed and it cant remove them, however it is installed. Ive tried doing a Setup /forestprep or /domainprep as well and then trying to do a remove install but it still dont work. Im out of ideas here and i need to get it back up and running, a total rebuild if the box AD isnt what i had in mind!! Any advice would be well appreciated. Technet turned up dry as well. Thanx all Ryan List Charter and FAQ at: http://www.sunbelt-software.com/exchange_list_charter.htm

RE: Cant uninstall Exchange 2k
Hey there Mr. High Impotence. Have you considered going to technet and querying your error. I got about 20 hits on the error number alone...

RE: Cant uninstall Exchange 2k
If u read the message i did look in Technet with that error message. However all i got were error messages relating to information store not SMTP Service which seems to be the problem that it keeps coming back to. One article suggested deleting any reference to exchange service under Start Settings Control Pannel Admin Tools Sites Services. I did that to no avail?? Im lost here. What answers did technet offer you?? I only manged to get 2 returns :( Ryan -Original Message- From: Ely, Don [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, 7 June 2002 12:00 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Cant uninstall Exchange 2k Hey there Mr. High Impotence.
