Exchange 2007 SP1 Upgrade Failed
I upgraded E2K7 to SP1 in my test environment. The upgrade removed Exchange 2007 from my test server and failed out with the error message "A reboot is required to complete the operations on {24B2C164-DE66-44FE-B468-A
Reinstalling from either the original E2K7 CD, or from the SP1 .exe has not been possible. The error message that is encountered when attempting a reinstall is "backup settings registry key is present....build-to-build upgrade mode is available"
Not sure what to do at this point

you bet me to it...... I have had to remove the water mark a few time ..... let us know if that does not work
ASKER
No, nothing even close is present in the registry. Any other ideas?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWAR
did you find this key?
did you find this key?
ASKER
yes, I did
but you do not have the action or watermark keys?

kris.
or values, rather.
look under the roles located on the box i,e setup or mailbox etc..
ASKER
Sorry, I should have been more clear. I searched the entire registry.
And what happens when you try to do the upgrade now?
ASKER
Well, since I haven't made any changes since I posted this problem, the situation is just as I described in my initial posting
ASKER
The problem was fixed by using adsi edit to drill down in the Configuration container to the Exchange area and deleting the server that was hosed by the SP1 upgrade.
After that I was able to do a clean install of SP1. Never did find any watermarks.....

HI,
I got to fix the problem .It crashed due to the Antivirus program installed on the server.
Recommended disable or uninstall any antivirus application before installation or upgradation of Exchange SP1

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWAR
if you do, check for values called...
Action
Watermark
delete these values
check your services applet. are the exchange services stopped and disabled? re-enable (automatic) and restart them. make sure IISadmin and related services are re-enabled and restarted as well, if applicable.
try sp1 update again.
