Hi there,

I have installed E2K7 Evaluation version and SP1, not
successfully, on my machine with win2k3 SP2. When I was installing E2K7 SP1,
it installed all things except the last one and showed an error. Then When I
restarted the sytem I am not able to start any of the services of E2K7 bcoz
their corresponding exe files are not present in the bin folder of E2K7
installation folder. When I try to run the installer of E2K7 SP1 it shows me
the error message

The Exchange Server is in an inconsistent state. Only disaster
recovery mode is available.

Now I can do nothing with my new E2K7 installation. How to correct this
error ?

best regards,

Hi there,

Can you give any more information from Event Viewer?

It looks as if your SP1 upgrade has caused issues. You may need to
re-install Exchange using the /recoverserver parameter.

This is performed from the cmd prompt and in the directory where you
Exchange installation files are (unless you have mapped the directory to
system).

setup.com /m:recoverserver

Here's a good article:

Also note, you do not need to install the RTM version of Exchange 2007 then
apply SP1.

You can just use the SP1 download, this is a complete Exchange 2007 product.

Hi there,

Thanx Oliver for your replies but I have reinstalled Windows and
E2K7 as I was not even able to uninstall the corrupt installation of E2K7.
This all happened bcoz I skipped the step "Configure DNS" when running
"DCPROMO". This error
"The Exchange Server is in an inconsistent state" occurs when DNS is not
configured properly for E2K7. Now I have succesfully installed E2K7 and SP1.

>>You can just use the SP1 download, this is a complete Exchange 2007 product.

OK, this is new thing for me, next time I will use SP1 ot install E2K7.

thanx for your time Oliver.

best regards,
