The key that is missing is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftMicrosoft Integration5717D53E-DD6D-4d1e-8A1F-C7BE620F65AA. When your server is missing this key most of your SBS 2003 wizards will fail to run. Here are the most common symptoms of this issue:
-
When you run certain Small Business Server 2003 Wizards, they fail with: “
