Hi Gill,
I never had any issues with this. This registry key is just a list hot
fixes that are applied. Deleting this key will tell the system the
particular hot fix is not installed only WHEN YOU DO A SCAN FOR
AUTOMATIC UPDATES or WHEN YOU REAPPLY THE FIX. But the installed hot fix
files are not deleted from the system. This is a workaround to force
reapply a hot fix, not to remove an installed hot fix.
 
HTH

Regards, 

Raj

Is that supported, i mean hotfix removal via registry deletion ?
 
You never know what else key gets used. Backup the registry before you
try this.
 
Kind Regards

        Hi Chris,
        Have you tried to delete the Registry key for the hot fix,
"HKLM\software\Microsoft\Updates\Exchange Server 2000\SP
xx\hotfixnumber". This might help because the hot fix looks at this
location to decide if it is already applied.

        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?

         

        Regards,

        Chris
