Abstract: We discuss general properties of moduli stablization in KKLT scenarios in type IIB orientifold compactifications. In particular, we find conditions for the Kaehler potential to allow a KKLT scenario for a manifold X_6 without complex structure moduli, i.e. h_(2,1)(X_6)=0. This way, a whole class of type IIB orientifolds with h_(2,1)(X_6)=0 is ruled out. This excludes in particular all Z_N- and Z_N x Z_M-orientifolds X_6 with h_(2,1)(X_6)=0 for a KKLT scenario. This concerns Z_3, Z_7, Z_3 x Z_3, Z_4 x Z_4, Z_6 x Z_6 and Z_2 x Z_6' -both at the orbifold point and away from it. Furthermore, we propose a mechanism to stabilize the Kaehler moduli accociated to the odd cohomology H^(1,1)_-(X_6). In the second part of this work we discuss the moduli stabilization of resolved type IIB Z_N- or Z_N x Z_M - orbifold/orientifold compactifications. As examples for the resolved Z_6 and Z_2 x Z_4 orbifolds we fix all moduli through a combination of fluxes and racetrack superpotential.
