If you are experiencing ADAM setup failures then there a few steps that should be completed and general questions that need to be answered before proceeding with the troubleshooting process.

1. Is the computer a member of the domain or in a workgroup?
2. Are there any events generated in the event logs that provide any details regarding ADAM?
3. Gather the debug logs %windir%\debug\adamsetup.log and %windir%\debug\adamuninstall.log.
4. Check the registry key

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\ADAM_Installer_Results for any error codes. These keys are not found if there was not a failure.Here a list of common issue and possible solutions:

ISSUE: ERROR_LOGON_FAILURE when trying to bind to it,

Check that the following registry key must be changed to zero and the machine

rebooted: HKLM\Control\CurrentControlSet\Control\LSA\forceguest

ISSUE: Error code: 0×800706fd The trust relationship between this workstation and the primary domain failed.

When you are installing ADAM when not connected to the domain: Check if you are trying to install the ADAM service with the NetworkService account. If so you will need to connect to the domain to allow this account to resolve or choose a local account for the ADAM service account.

ISSUE: Error: ADAM Setup could not complete because shortcuts could not be added to the Start menu.

Try and delete the following key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows

\CurrentVersion\ADAM_Shared

ISSUE: “ The name referenced is invalid”

ADAM user added to administrator group of schema or configuration container you get “ The name referenced is invalid” This is by design. An ADAM user cannot be an administrator of the whole instance.
