Hello,

I am receiving the following error message from the exchange transport

windows 2003 R2. Hub Transport and Client Access Roles.

Try running Exchange Best Practices Analyzer (ExBPA). Have it check
the permissions. You may have an OU that blocks inheritence (or some
other problem that's preventing the registration from working).
