did you try S&C\svcacct ? -----Original Message----- From: Klosa, Bill [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, August 20, 2002 10:38 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Trouble with forestprep
I keep getting the error message "This account must be valid before continuing" This is a brief description on my layout: Exchange 5.5 currently running in a Winnt 4.0 domain called "S&C" I am trying to migrate to Exchange 2k and W2K. The root W2K domain name is "SANDC". This was done to get rid of the legacy "S&C" name. I have trusts setup between S&C and SANDC and they function properly. I get the above error when I run the forest prep on the new SANDC domain and try to join the existing exchange 5.5 in the S&C domain. It finds the 5.5 server, runs the prerequisite test and hangs on the service account screen. This screen shows the proper 5.5 service account name and when I enter the password, I get that error.
