Delployment status re-initialized during installation

I was installing OCS server and was almost done with installation. Finished configuring and setting up digital certificate. Over the weekend we had a power outage and the Server shutdown. Now when I click on "Deploy Standard edition" It shows as if I need to start again with "Prepare Active Directory" Not sure what happened any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Nasir.

Are you able to wipe out and start over? That would be the safest and you will probably have the least amount of issues, but is often not a option. If it is an option for you, I would say do it. Re-prepping AD won't be an issue, it should come back and report that it is already done. If it doesnt say that, then just rerun it.

Was this done on a virtual environment? Using virtual server with undo disks enabled? That is all I can think of.

No I am using Win 2003 SP2. I did use the same server as a CA. Teh last thing I did was assign the certificate.

Can I start again with "Prepare Active Directory" and as the installation see that things are already installed it just sets the check marks? Or would I cause more issues? Or Should I just reinstall WIN 2003 to wipe off every thing?

Thanks
