Exchange 07 setup error Remote Registry service is not running
I'm installing Exchange 2007 in a very simple test lab environment which includes one 2003 server AD DC which has been installed, promoted, and switched to native mode 2003. I installed the .net and powershell pre-reqs. When installing Exchange I get an error that states "There was a problem accessing the registry on this computer. This may happen if the Remote Registry service is not running; it may also indicate a network problem." The setup log is posted below. I have confirmed that the Remote Registry service is up and running on both the exchange server and the DC. Any ideas folks?

A HA! Thanks lsigow. it was indeed file and print sharing on a second nic on the machine. I double checked the second nic and someone had removed it. As soon as I put it back the install proceeded as planned. Yippee.
