Question

Hi!
Trying to configure owa for exchange 2010&nbsp;but running cscript owauser.wsf gives me some weird error:
&nbsp;
C:\Program Files (x86)\Enterprise Vault&gt;cscript owauser.wsf /domain:x /user:xx /password:xxx
Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.8
	Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.
WScript version: 5.8
	Configuring for Exchange 2003/2007&nbsp; &lt;&lt; Why is it saying I have 2003 or 2007 exchange?? 
	Running as: x\xx
User name: xx
User domain: x
Assigned user right: SeNetworkLogonRight
	Assigned user right: SeInteractiveLogonRight
	Assigned user right: SeBatchLogonRight
	Assigned user right: SeChangeNotifyPrivilege
	Configured Enterprise Vault web app
	C:\Program Files (x86)\Enterprise Vault\owauser.wsf(254, 5)
	WshShell.RegWrite: Invalid root in registry key "HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\KVS\Enterprise Vault\Install\OwaWebAppAlias".
&nbsp;
What function is suppose to creat the reg item "OwaWebAppAlias" because there is no regitem like that on the list at all.... Can it be created by hand or should I look in to some other function maybe during the installation?
Just in case it's relevant:
using windows server 2008 R2 on all platforms exchange is 2010 ev version is 10.0

Hi Sani,
Please try disabling UAC on the EV server and running the owauser.wsf cscript again.&nbsp; That should let it complete successfully!

Are you running this on the EV server or are you trying to configure OWA extensions on the CAS?
You should re-read the Setting_up_Exchange_Server_Archiving.pdf on setting up OWA, I think you might be missing something.

I'm running it on the EV server and I've checked everything twice now...
Can that be created with regedit&nbsp;or would that cause even more problems...?

Is the running as account the VSA?
You need to run that scripts logged in as the Vault Service Account.

sani_b · Answer

Yes I know and I am logged in as the Vault Service Account...
Can anyone tell me what function it is that should create the registry key:
"HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\KVS\Enterprise Vault\Install\OwaWebAppAlias"?

Symantec never bothered to change the script to&nbsp;say&nbsp;exchange 2010 nor the switch (from /exch2000 and /exch2003 to&nbsp;/exch2007 and /exch2010)&nbsp;is the answer to your question regading this query. I have tried to get this changed&nbsp;when I was working there for the EV support team :-). But this should not cause you an issue and you should use the switch /exch2003 as per usual, I have never had issue using&nbsp;the /exch2003&nbsp;switch&nbsp;for exchange 2010.
I think Chris has spotted the issue regarding your OwaWebAppAlias registry error. Whilst you are checking the UAC, might be a good idea to check the firewall and turn it off too.
Hope that helps.
