SYMPTOMS
When you proceed through the BackOffice Server 4.5 Deployment Wizard, the Setup Configuration Information dialog box may contain components that you did not previously select. The following components may appear in this list:
 * Certificate Server
 * Microsoft Queue Service
 * Microsoft Transaction Server

These components are not installed on your computer and do not affect the installation or functionality of BackOffice Server.



RESOLUTION
To remove the Certificate Server, Microsoft Queue Service, and Microsoft Transaction Server components from the Setup Configuration Information dialog box, edit your Unattend.ini file using the following steps:  Close and save the Unattend.ini file from the Setup Configuration Information dialog box. Open the Unattend.ini file that is located in the :\Winnt\Temp folder (where   is your system drive letter). Use the Find tool to locate each of the following strings in your Unattend.ini file:

Windows NT Option Pack\Certificate Server

Windows NT Option Pack\Microsoft Message Queue

Windows NT Option Pack\Transaction Server

 Under each of these entries, find the line that begins with "InstallAction" and change it to the following:

InstallAction=NONE

 Save and close your Unattend.ini file. Run the Deployment Wizard again, specifying this new Unattend.ini file, and then continue the installation.</ol>

NOTE: If you make any mistakes editing the Unattend.ini file, the BackOffice Server 4.5 installation may not work. Please consult the Microsoft BackOffice Server Getting Started Guide for more information.
