Trying to install Exchange 2003 Server Management Tools in a DC (WIN 2003 R2 SP2) I received an error ' Setup encounter an error while checking prerequisites for the component "Microsoft Exchange": 0XC0070052 (82): The Director or file cannot be created'. I installed IIS and Windows Component Kit and still getting the same error. Does anybody knows how to bypass this error and install the tools.

Hi It seems to be permission problem or group policy. Do you install Management tool by admin account of exchange and local machine ? Do you create policy for your server ? It is guide of Management tool of exchange 2003. http://www.msexchange.org/tutorials/remotely-administering-exchange-2003.html
