IIS gets going before the installable file system mounts the m: drive (which is where IIS is looking for the virtual directory data). So when IIS starts the M: drive doesn't exist and it complains, shortly afterwards the M: drive appears so when you look at it later you can browse the files and folders.

Here is what we have done ... -run forestprep at the top level of our forest as schema admin, domain admin -run domainprep in the doamins that will be housing users and the EX 2000 server as domain admin of the respective domains -establish 2 way trusts between the NT4 domain and the doamins that will be housing users and the EX 2000 server -installed EX 2000 in the doamin that will be housing the EX servers -establish CA agreements between the Ex 5.5 containers and the 2000 server that will house their account Everything we have tested works (i.e. creating mailboxes in the 2000, sending/recieving mail, Web access ..) EXCEPT these 3 things ..... 1) whenever we try to move a mailbox from the 5.5 server to the 2000 server we get an error that says ... "An internal processing error has occurred. Try restarting the Exchange System Manager or the Microsoft Exchange Information Store service, or both." Both of which do nothing to resolve the problem .... 2) IIS admin server has stop errors on the public,exchange, exchange admin folders with a status of "The system could not find the path specified" ... even though you can browse to the path with IIS admin AND the web access works just fine! 3) If we apply sp2 to our exchange server, the virtual M drive dissappears and several services don't start because they can't find the information stores ... What did we do wrong? Should we go back and start again ? Thanks in advance ...
