Still struggling here. I did indeed need to rerun the /domainprep. However, when I later ran policytest it showed success on only one of the 2 domain controllers. So I waited, and by the next day on both domain controllers it indicated failure. I tried a few more times - no success. I am now about to delete the 2000 attempt - reimage and try again. Still open to any ideas or suggestions. thanks

Subject: RE: 5.5 Move to E2k - Big Problem It sounds like the maybe DOMAINPREP did not work. There is a utility program you can run to check if the correct rights are set on the domain controller. Its name is POLICYTEST. I think it is in support\utils\i386 folder on your exchange 2000 CD. At a CMD prompt, go to the directory and run it on the domain controller. If it doesn't report that the Rights are Set, then I think you need to rerun SETUP /DOMAINPREP. -----Original Message----- From: Hooks, Tim [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, November 13, 2001 3:26 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: 5.5 Move to E2k - Big Problem Hi List, I am hoping some of you have some insight on a problem I am having. The scenario is as follows: The network is win2k native mode, sp2, with two domain controllers. I currently have Exchange 5.5, SP4 on a Win2k domain controller (was also a GC until last weekend) with 150 users. I have set up a Exchange 2000 on another server (non-DC) after running forest prep and domain prep. I installed the Exchange 2000 ADC. I installed win2k sp1, I joined the existed org during installation. The problem is I cannot mount the information store on the win2k Exchange server, and therefore I cannot move any mailboxes. I get an 9175 error every minute on the exchange 2k server, an 8213 every 25 minutes, mixed in with some 101's after a reboot. On the existing 5.5 server I get some 565 security errors - Directory service access errors. Both the 5.5 and 2000 admin consoles know of the other server's existence. I have poured over Technet and found some interesting stuff - most of the changes were of no help. However, Q275127 mentions no upgrade path for 5.5 on win2k to exchange 2000 (that's why I demoted the 5.5 GC status, waited a day, and rebooted). At this point I am considering opening a ticket with MS and/or running dcpromo to demote the 5.5 server. Any suggestions or comments are welcome. Timothy J.
