You may come across this error message when you install Office Communications Server 2007 for the first time in your environment. This error generally is seen after you run through the initial steps and are trying to start the OCS services for the first time.
This event ID will contain the following message:

This error can be misleading. The primary reason you see this error is simple – You have had a previous installation of OCS in the domain and there are still a few entries in Active Directory that haven’t been cleaned up even though you did a clean uninstall of OCS.
This is what you need to do to fix the error:
KB974571 and OCS 2007
If you are running OCS 2007 or 2007 R2, do not install the patch KB974571. This patch is known to break OCS 2007 installations. In cases where the Office Communications Server 2007 has this patch, you will not be able to install the server and will get an weird error saying that the time is not correct or not in sync.
Here is the Microsoft KB article about this error.
Let me know if you have installed this patch and are able to run your OCS 2007 server without issues.
