more error like "the following error occured while shortcuts to the active
directory administrative tools was being updated:
the windows installer service could not be accessed. contact your support
personal to verify that the windows installer service is properly registered."

how to get my server working without formating

After you promote the server and you are getting the error regarding MMCs you
can reinstall them by running adminpack.msi which I believe is located in the
I386 folder on your media
