Upgrading to RC0 caused client access role issue
The following steps were performed:
Uninstalled the B2 CA role.
Uninstalled the MSH RC2.
Installed Powershell
ran the RC0 upgrade w/ "setup /m:upgrade" which was successful
upon attempting to re-install the CA role "setup /m:install /role:ca" "the virtual directory Exchweb already exists. Opened ESM, which advised AD was out of synch with the server, and removed the virtuals via the exchange powershell.
Now, I'm getting the following error when running setup with the above parameters:
**********************
Y:\ISO\Exchange 12\Exchange 2007 RC0\Install>setup /mode:install /role:ca
Welcome to Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Unattended Setup

The above path is definitely not under ClientAccess. In fact, the only dir under is OAB.
How do I get around this?
I suppose I could stand up a new CA only server, but I'd rather not have to do this.
Thanks in advance!
