Hello all,
The basics of this is that I had an exchange 2007 server install that went wrong and now there is an additional exchange server in ADSI edit. I have brought in a completely new server and gave it the same name. When I go to install exchange 2010 server, I get an error message. ""Some Controls aren't valid. The exchange server is in an inconsistent state. Only disaster recovery mode is available. Please use Setup/M:RecoverServer to recover this exchange server."" I don't want to do a recovery since I am going on clean install on a newer version of Exchange. I have been told I can delete the server from ADSI edit, but I am unable to even logging in as the domain admin with exchange admin rights and schema rights. If I right-click the server, there is no option at all for delete or remove. Am I stuck with changing the server name, or is there a way to get rid of the fubar install server and use the same name?
Thanks,
David
