However, after uninstalling, these applications may not always be completely removed. The uninstall could have failed or not finished. These "application remnants" may cause some serious problems that could affect the operation of Exchange. I had exactly this problem once, and found that solving it was not so easy. The last thing you would want is to avoid resolving application conflicts with Exchange. When dealing with an Exchange Server whenever an application is uninstalled, the network administrator should, as a safety precaution, go to the Registry and remove any links to that application. I followed this procedure, and it worked for me: - Open the Registry Editor - Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\Uninstall - In this folder, find the application or applications that were not fully removed, and simply delete those applications' folder. My problems went away after I had completed these steps. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Adesh Rampat has 10 years experience with network and IT administration.
