Install of CASR on Windows 2003 Enterprise SP1 on Virtual Server 2005 failed.Error message indicated a failure to access the IIS metabase.This worked on the same setup in Beta 1.Thoughts?ThanksAndrew Watt

I was later able to install the Client Access Server Role without having made any configuration changes.I opened the Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel and selected Change for Exchange Server 2007 Beta 2. This displayed a different interface from which I was able successfully to install CASR (and Mailbox and UM).

Andrew, I've seen this type of behavior several times on installs as well. The first go around, the install fails, but selecting Change, and reinstalling a specific role, is successful. Ben

Can you please post the specific error(s) from the setup log. Should be in <install drive>\ExchangeSetupLogs\ExchangeSetup.log. That will help us track down this issue. Thanks, ~vivek
