RE: [ActiveDir] Exchange and AD

[Medeiros, Jose]

Hi Tom,

 

My mistake I re-read her domain info and it is 2000 with a 2003 DC. You are right, Adprep is only required when upgrading AD from 2000 to 2003. However I ran it from the Exchange 2003 server CD as it get's around the malformed inter-org person issue that occurs if you run it from the 2003 server CD.

 

Thank you for clarifying this,

 

Jose Medeiros :-)

Adprep/forest prep is only to prepare the forest for win2k3 AD.

 

i think you are thinking of setup /forestprep from the exchange cd.

There should be a srv for all the gc's in the forest in the _msdc subdomain in you root domain. so in "_msdc.root.domain.com".

 

Do you have any errors logged on your DC's? In the directory services log that pretain to exchange or gc's?

Yes, I have connectivity to a GC.  The Exchange server is running on W2K3 (on a W2K domain) but is not a DC.  Should there still be SRV records for it, and if so where exactly would I look for them as looking briefly I did not find them?

 

The sites and subnets are defined properly and there is a corresponding subnet for the exchange server and the associated site.

 

Thanks,

Brenda

Do you have connectivity to a GC?  Are the srv records in dns?

Hi Brenda,

 

I would try and run Forestprep and Domainprep a second time. Once it is completed, reinstall Exchange and select the just the systems manager option for the install. That should fix it.

Yes we did run setup/domainprep from the exchange cd.  We believe that we have followed the entire setup procedure.

 

Thanks,

Brenda

During the install of Exchange, the Microsoft Exchange System Attendant is unable to start.  After bypassing the start of this service during the install and then rebooting the server the following error is generated in the Application Log file.

Microsoft Exchange System Attendant does not have sufficient rights to read Exchange configuration objects in Active Directory. Wait for replication to complete and then check to make sure the computer account is a member of the "Exchange Domain Servers" security group.

We have read several KB articles, but have been unable to find a solution.  Any help would be appreciated!  (The Exchange Server computer account is not disable, and does exist in AD).

Thanks,
Brenda
