I am having a very similar if not identical problem. The Error Message is as follows:The Exchange organization name is invalid. Message: '{335A1087-5131-4D45BE-3C6C7F76F5EC} is not a valid value for Organization Name. The value must not contain any of '~', '`', '!', '@', '#', '$', '%', '^', '&', '*', '(', ')', '_', '+', '{', '}', '[', ']', '|', '\', ':', ';', '"', ''', '<', '>', ',', '.', '?', '/'This occurs after clicking the "Next" button at the "Introduction" phase of the "Exchange Server 2007 Setup" dialog.I have exhausted myself trying to find a solution to this with no success. Please Help!Thanks to all assistance in advance.Rob.

You cannot use the GUID name as the org name when running exchange 2007 setup. Please change it to something valid, such as "First Organization"

More details:
"That error tells me that the /forestprep for Exchange 2003 has been run previously but no servers were ever installed. Problem is - E2003 forestprep creates the org name that is that big GUID that you see there. That is however not a valid org name for E2007 to install into. This is how you remove the org: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/273478/ "
