HI... I made a mistake. I have installed CWA role on FE server and before activating it I reallise my mistake, so I have just removed CWA role from the server.
At that point IIS functionallity broke and AB doesn't work (sync) anymore, expansion of group also doesn't work and users got window for services login.
This is in prerelease state so there is no disaster at this time.

What I am asking you is, do you know maybe how to recover from this situation?
Is it simpler to just deactivate FE, destroy server and set up FE from the scratch? If this is best sollution, is there something that I should export before destroying server... for example dialing rules?

Thank you guys in advance

At this point you may need to remove and reinstall the Web Components role on your Front-End server. You shouldn't need to go as far as rebuilding the entire server, just removing the

Jeff, thanx

So if I understand correctly I have to:
1. deactivate the Web Conferencing service
2. deactivate the Web Components
3. goto programs and features and remove Web Components (here IIS did not allow to do that... I guess I have to stop IIS services)
4. start SetupSe (OCS setup) and go trough wizard to deploy FE from "partial" state

Thanx Jeff... again :)
If you say so, it is so simple.
At 3. I had to turn off UAC for IIS to stop holding uninstall.

Hope I will someday meet you, so I can buy you at least beer or two.
