Hi, Scenario:
"BOX1" Win2K Adv Server Active Directory Master/Global Server (only AD server currently in the configuration) "BOX2" Win2K Adv Server with Exchange Server 2000 Gold (e.g. no SP's yet). Both Dell PowerEdge, both Windows SP-2, Exchange SP-2 Both systems are on the domain, both are unrestricted (not yet being used, this is a test setup). I can install Exchange 2000 without any problems from the original install CD - upon completion I reboot the server, and none of the exchange services will start - the system attendant won't start, and obviously as they all depend on it, everything else fails too. The errors I receive are: ID 1002 / MSExchangeMU / Metabase Agent failed to start. Error code is 80040a01 ID 9004 / MSExchangeSA / The metabase Update service failed to start, error '8004a01' ID 1005 / MSExchangeSA / Unexpected Error occurred. An unknown error has occurred. I've had a search around the knowledge base and tried some suggestions, so far no luck. Has anyone any ideas or suggestions to point me in the right direction... I'm guessing it's something I've overlooked, I just can't see what. Any help wuld be appreciated.
