SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to install Exchange 2000 Server, the following symptoms may occur:  Setup may not work, and you may receive the following error message:

0XC103798A

If you choose Cancel, Setup continues and finishes. The following error message is logged in the Exchange Server Setup log:

Process has exited with 0x000005

The command

regsvr32 /s cdowfevt.dll

failed, returning error code 5 (Access is denied.). ScCreateProcess (K:\admin\src\libs\exsetup\hiddenw1.cxx:1763)

Error code 0XC103798A (31114): An internal component has failed.

 If you continue Setup, it appears to finish successfully; however, the system attendant generates the following error message every five minutes:

Event Type: Error

Event Source: MSExchangeSA

Event Category: Monitoring

Event ID: 9098

Description: The MAD Monitoring thread was unable to read its configuration from the DS, error '0x80041010'

 Manual registration (regsvr32 -i cdowfevt.dll) does not work, and you receive the following error message:

0x80110401





CAUSE
The first and third symptoms occur because the &quot;access denied&quot; message is actually a generic &quot;error return&quot; error message for the Setup program. The Component Object Model (COM) manager is actually returning 0x80110401 (COMAdminErrObjectErrors) because the registration fails randomly when it tries to access all of the COM+ packages while searching for the WF event sink.

The second symptom can occur if Mad.exe tries to &quot;activate&quot; Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) classes that have not been created. This registration occurs during the Setup process. When MAD attempts this, WMI returns the error 80041010, WBEM_E_INVALID_CLASS.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

301378 How to Obtain the Latest Exchange 2000 Server Service Pack

The English version of this fix should have the following file attributes or later:

Component: CDO

Replace the file (in the Exchsrvr\Bin folder), or run the supplied .exe, and then run Setup from the Exchange 2000 CD-ROM and choose the re-install option.

When you receive a message that states that the target file exists and is newer than the source and prompts you to choose whether to overwrite the newer file, click No.

IMPORTANT: Just replacing the file does not resolve the second symptom. You must install Exchange 2000 again so that the classes are properly registered in WMI.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server.



MORE INFORMATION
The Misc.ins file contains the Setup information that is related to WMI for Exchange 2000. If any of these processes fail, WMI-related problems occur in Exchange 2000.
