MailBasketMD installation failed.

Exchange 2003 does not come with a mehod of creating catch-all mailboxes. Unbelievable I know. However, for some reason, Microsoft have overlooked this functionality. There are various free scripts available online to do this. However we came accross a great tool called MailbasketMD which has a GUI, thus enabling a more userfriendly was of controlling catch-all mailboxes for Exchange 200/2003: http://www.turbogeeks.com/products/mailbasketmd.asp
We tried to install and ran into problems.

MailBasketMD is an ActiveX DLL that runs as a COM+ application. It therefore relies on the service Distributed Transaction Coordinator in order to run. We basically needed to start this service in order to get it working.

Startng this service was a seperate troubleshooting issue, details can be found here.
