I had an exchange server on my home w2k AD network that wasn't acting right so I decided I'd remove exchange and reinstall the server fresh. I go thru the uninstall process and clear what I can from the registry. OK so I reinstall the server and attempt to install exchange and I get this freaking error telling me: The component Microsoft Exchange Messaging and Collaboration Services" cannot be assigned the action "Install" because: -Active Directory has not replicated all the necessary permissions for the deleted items container. Please wait until replication completes before running setup. This happens if I choose a Typical or Custom install. Can someone advise me on what in the hell this is and how can I resolve it? Sowry for the obvious but this has me going nuts.
