I keep getting the following error when trying to add Internet Mail Service in Exchange 5.5: 'An error occurred during file replication. Unable to find a file with the correct version number Microsoft Exchange Administrator Id no c1030ad0'. I've removed and reinstalled Exchange and also followed the instructions in the related Technet article and still had no joy. Can anyone help?

I've had a similar problem - OWA won't install, and the installation also corrupts the Exchange setup. This means I have to remove Exchange 5.5 and re-install it.

When that doesn't work, I try to uninstall it, then I manually remove the exchangefiles from the directory C:\exchsrvr. This directory may also exist on other drives, so just blow them away too.

You will probably get a message saying a directory is registered, do you want to continue. No, don't (you may have problems when trying re-install). Manually delete as many files and directories from this directory as you can, then try the re-install again.

Works for me, until I try to install OWA again.

Remember to apply any service packs you have.

BTW: if anyone knows how to stop the OWA problem, let me know and I'll set up a question for them to answer. They can also recommend the points it's worth!!!
