MailboxServer is partially configured – ExBPA


When running ExBPA against an Exchange 2007 mailbox server, the following error text may be noted:
===========================================================

Error: 'MailboxServer' is partially configured
Server: <SERVER>

'MailboxServer' is partially configured on server <SERVER>.contoso.com. Either setup is configuring it right now or setup failed while configuring it. Please rerun setup if it isn't currently running.


Or if you tried to install some third party application that require mailbox role installed, you may get message that you cannot install the the application since there is no mailnox role installed though you know your mailbox server functions very well


Cause: Once you intially ran Exchange Setup, setup might failed and you fixed the error and installed the mailbox server sucessfully.


Resolution: Make sure your mailbox server role works properly and then using regedit


[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Exchange\v8.0\MailboxServer]
"Action"="Install"
"Watermark"=REG_SZ:7448a073

"UnpackedVersion"=REG_SZ:8.3.83.6


remove "Watermark"=dword:7448a073


Remove "Action"="Install"


Add


"ConfiguredVersion"=REG_SZ:8.3.83.6


After, we will see


"ConfiguredVersion"=REG_SZ:8.3.83.6

"UnpackedVersion"=REG_SZ:8.3.83.6


your mileage may vary for the version value:


runn ExBPA against the Exchange 2007 mailbox server again, you should be fine.
