Hi JPHespanha,
What version of ArcSDE were you trying to install?
Your .png, shows 86 tables in the sde schema, at 10.0 the number of tables under the sde schema after an install should be 40. So, are you installing an earlier version?
Even though we have not certified any ArcSDE version on Windows 2008 R2, we have been using it and found no issues, we have been using it for ArcSDE 10.0 but not on earlier versions, so I am not sure how earlier versions would run on it.
Windows 2008 R2 has introduced more of a distinction between a user that is part of the admin group vs. an actual os admin so some things that could previously be done as a user with admin privs on WIN2k8 R2 they have to be done as the admin it's self. One of those things is running the Postinstaller, I am wondering if that is the issue you had run into, because your setup log does not show any errors. So, try this:
in start, all programs, arcgis, arcsde, right click on the postinstaller and "Run as Administrator", that should get you past the "Repository ... unsuccessful ... " message, or try running it in command line but make sure that the command line window was started "as admin" as well. If you had not switched off UAC settings you may also have issues with writing to logs, but I assume that you had since sdesetup log was populated.
Sincerely,
Kasia
