Cant see Registry Key exadmin

Installing Avaya Modular Messaging - the setup instructions tell me to turn on the security tab for the Exchange Container. A pretty straign forward well documented procedure adding a DWORD to a key.
I am told to navigate to " HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Exchange\ExAdmin" but this key is not present on my Exchange Server. Under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Exchange i simply have EXBpa and 12.0.

My Exchange 2007 server has been up and running (upgraded from 2003 Server) for over a year - it is at SP1 Rollup 3. I dont have any problems with it, BPA does not show up any issues.

When I look at the registry I am logged onto the Server as a Domain Admin.

From what I understand this registry key should just 'be there' after installation

Any help on this much appreciated.

If its pretty important - you may simply create those Reg value for that key if its not present.
Ideally i had seen this key for Exchange 2003.

Not sure why would they require this key in first place.

The requirement is to add permissions to the Exchange Organization object in services in AD Sites and Services. By default the Security tab on this object is turned off - the registry change turns it on, but I cant get to the appropriate Registry Key to create the DWORD (as I said - the exadmin key isn't there and in no documentation do i see you have to create it).

I actually found a work around - I simply used ADSI edit to set the permissions on the Exchange Organization object (you get the security tab through that).

I will leave this open for a couple of days - any explaination of why I might not being seeing this key or why it might not be there gets the points.
