  Hi there,
  
  We had OCS Beta 3 running  and have just upgraded to the Public Beta release. Now with the mediation server requiring 2 NIC cards we reused a server we had that had such a configuration.
  
  That servers previous role was the Edge server (Access,etc). I uninstalled this software and then installed the new Mediation server s/w on the server... but now the service will not start. I get the following errors (I have edited the GUID's for safety sake)
  
  Is this a Registry error or a Active Directory error ??? - It looks like the uninstallation of the Edge server roles failed to clean the system and now with the Mediation Server on this particular server it is throwing errors. But can I rebuild this server and solve the problem OR is it a Domain Controller issue (Active Directory) and rebuilding is a waste of time
  
  Any help appreciated. (see errors below)
