-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Jeffrey Dubyn Sent: Wednesday, June 05, 2002 6:20 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: ForestPrep I have a brand new installation of a Forest, with two Domain Controllers in the same lone domain. DNS is successfully configured on one of the servers and I'm attempting to install Exchange 2000 on the other. Running ForestPrep, gave me this error: "Either you do not have permission to update the Active Directory schema or Active Directory service is currently too busy." Since I was logged in as administrator, that could not be correct. I doublechecked that the admin was a member of Administrators, Domain Administrators and Enterprise Administrators. Looking at Technet, I found Q274196 which said I had to start the Remote Registry Service. When I looked, it was already started. Rebooted and then was able to successfully run ForestPrep. When I tried to run DomainPrep, I got this error: "Setup has detected that ForestPrep has not been run on this machine. Please run ForestPrep before attempting to run DomainPrep in this domain. For more information please see the installation documentation." Found Q287576 and followed the advice about looking in the registry key (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Exchange\Setup). Sure enough it was not there. Looking on the harddrive in the path I pointed Exchange to when I ran ForestPrep shows no files. I reran ForestPrep, and it says it ran successfully, yet the same thing is happening - no files in the path and DomainPrep cannot run. Any suggestions? _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
