I ended up jumping through some hoops to get the Deduplication engine working on Windows 2008 Server.
The following error continued to be displayed everytime I attempted to create the DeDupe folder:
"An Error Occurred While Creating the Deduplication Storage Folder"
Nothing was logged int the Windows Event Logs or Backup Exec Alerts Panel. However, after doing some digging in text logs within the DeDupe folder I found that there was an authentication issue when trying to load one of the last modules within the automated folder/DB setup.
In summary, even with UAC disabled, the DeDupe folder properties didn't take kindly to using the local administrator account. Just create a standard account (Domain Or Local User) and the automated setup program will take care of the rest.
