256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry



SYMPTOMS
The Microsoft Connector for Lotus Notes, SNADS, OVVM, or GroupWise may fail to install after a fresh installation of Exchange Server. An error may be displayed indicating that the service has already been installed and setup can not continue.



CAUSE
The Notes, SNADS, OVVM, or GroupWise connector was not properly uninstalled before Exchange Server was reinstalled. The "Remove All" action for Exchange Server does not clean up these connectors from the registry.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, remove the Notes, SNADS, OVVM, or GroupWise connectors before removing the Exchange Server installation.

Or, manually delete the following registry keys:

WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

Lotus Notes Connector: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\services \LME-NOTES HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\services\MSExchangeCoCo HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\services                       \ -LME-NOTES HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Microsoft\Exchange\Setup\Exchconn

SNADS Connector: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\services\LME-SNADS HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\services\MSExchangeCoCo HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\currentcontrolset\services                       \ -LME-SNADS HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\Microsoft\Exchange\Setup\Exchconn

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5.



MORE INFORMATION
There are additional complications that cause the installation of the Notes connector to fail in overriding previous installations. This will remain a problem until the Exchange Server setup includes all the connectors in the remove all process.
