Error 3221684229 Installing Exchange 2007 (Mailbox Role) - On Windows Server 2008 R2 and OWA not working

Hi,

this post is composed by a couple of issues that can appear when migrating exchange 2003 to 2007.
Since Exchange 2007 is an old software if you install it today on a Windows 2008 R2 Server you can get this error: Error 3221684229 Installing Exchange 2007 Mailbox Role.

I found this post that helped me out.

Solution as easy as running the installer on Vista  compatibility mode.

This generated next problem, it was a typical install and all roles where installed except the mailbox.
After changing compatibility mode I added Mailbox Role.

Then we starting trying the server and OWA web page appeared but it didn't authenticate.
Finally I found two posts that help me out:

We needed to install Exchange SP3 and review IIS prerequisites.
