I am trying to Install Exchange 2k7 on Windows Server 2008. I've gone through
the whole nine yards of preinstallation checks b/c its going to coexists in
an Exchange 2000 Environment. I have both windows 2000 and 2k3 DCs.
The Readiness checks out allright. Everything goes OK for the typical
Exchange installation but the installation fails for Client Access Role. I
get the following error:

Client Access Role
Error: An error occurred while creating the IIS virtual directory
'IIS://exchangeserver.domain.com/W3SVC/1/ROOT/Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync'
on 'exchangeserver' . Requested Resgistry access is not allowed.

I think its a permissions issue but am not sure exactly which registry I
need to give permissions to. Help anyone...

The account you're using is a local administrator on the machine?

Yes. I am using the local admin account and also tried the domain admin
account.
local machine\administartor, and mydomain\administrator.

I ran into this issue of not having a lot of services, like windows
firewall etc., not running when I joined this server to my damin (mixed
windows 2000/2003). And when I tried to run the services, it gave me 'access
denied error'. So I went in the registries and gave appropriate permissions
and I could start the services then.
