And Domain Prep - don't forget Domain Prep. Actually, if they haven't been run, technically, they are supposed to run during the Exchange setup, but from what I have heard from others, it is really better to do them separately and wait for everything to synchronize before running the actual Exchange install.

You need to read some more before embarking on this cruise ship. You need to have Active Directory running in your W2K domain, and you will need to run the Forest Prep for Exchange 2000 before you will get very far. Best of luck!

(Exchange 2000 on Win 2k server) Having never done it before I thought I'd give it a crack. Upon entering the setup screen I started going through the installation options and I got this error:- Microsoft Exchange Messaging and collaboration Services depends on Microsoft Exchange domain preperation, which has an install problem. Any ideas?? All knowledgebase stuff I can find relates to DNS of Master Domain controller - which is fine.
