Edge Transport Setup Fails With DSACLs Error
Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 will reach end of support on April 11, 2017. To stay supported, you will need to upgrade. For more information, see Resources to help you upgrade your Office 2007 servers and clients.
This topic provides information about how to troubleshoot Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Setup if Setup fails with the following error:
Active Directory Application Mode (ADAM) process dsacls.exe failed with error code 58 when setting the access control list (ACL) on OU=MSExchangeGateway. |
The ExchangeSetup.log file also includes the following warning:
Process dsacls.exe has finished with exit code 58. |
This issue occurs when there is a permissions issue on the target drive for the installation. It usually occurs when both the EVERYONE and USERS groups are incorrectly removed from the security settings of the target drive.
Resolution
To resolve the problem, restore the default permissions of the EVERYONE and USERS groups to the target drive for the installation.
Before You Begin
To perform this procedure, the account you use must have membership in the local Administrators group. For more information about permissions, delegating roles, and the rights that are required to administer Exchange 2007, see Permission Considerations.
Procedure
To restore default permissions of the EVERYONE and USERS groups
Right-click the target drive, and then click Properties.
On the Security tab, click Advanced, and then use the following table to add the corresponding permissions to the accounts.

Before you restart Exchange Server 2007 Setup, you may need to run the following command from the C:\Windows\ADAM folder to uninstall the Microsoft Exchange ADAM service:
adamuninstall.exe /force /i:MSExchange
If there is drive on the system that has the correct permissions, you can run the following Windows PowerShell command to copy the permissions:
get-acl <good drive> | set-acl <bad drive>
