Okay, i guess it is okay, if one knows exactly what to do :) _____ From: Chris Wall [mailto:Chris.Wall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, November 04, 2004 11:39 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] RE: Exchange Hotfix questions... http://www.MSExchange.org/ Raj, Thanks. That solved my issues. The KB article 184305 had me looking in the wrong Registry location. Thanks again for the information.

This might help because the hot fix looks at this location to decide if it is already applied. HTH Regards, Raj _____ From: Chris Wall [mailto:Chris.Wall@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 2004 4:12 PM To: [ExchangeList] Subject: [exchangelist] Exchange Hotfix questions... http://www.MSExchange.org/ Hello all, Recently had to do an exchange rebuild and working with a plan devised with Microsoft Technical support. One of the steps included removing Exchange from the system (Following KB article 259158). To make a long story short, this KB article never mentions that you should remove all Hotfixes prior to following the steps. Now I have a functioning e-mail server after re-installing, but several features of OWA are not working correctly. These issues are resolved by installing Hotfixes. Unfortunately, each time I try to install the hotfix, a warning appears stating that the hotfix is already installed on the server. However, when I go to Add\Remove programs and select to remove the hotfix, it errors out. Does anyone know how to manually remove a hotfix so that it can be re-installed?
