Were you schema admin when you did the forestprep? John
-----Original Message----- From: Robyn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 20, 2003 9:35 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Exchange 2000 Dear fellow IT professionals, I am having problems with Exchange 2000 configuration, and I wonder if anyone can help??. Let me set the scene for you all. I have two windows 2000 advanced servers in an domain which have been dcpromo-ed. One of my servers is the Global Catalog for the domain whilst my other server is a domain controller which has been ticked in the NTDS settings as a Global Catalog server. It is this server that is the Exchange 2000 server. The domain is currently running in mixed mode. I have been following the Microsoft white paper on how to install exchange 2000, and thus both my Windows 2000 servers have Service pack 1 installed. I install exchange by firstly running the Forestprep switch, all goes well with no reported errors. Once replication has taken place, I then run the domainprep switch. Once replication has taken place, I then install Exchange 2000. All seems to go ok and once installed I can conect to the exchange server via an outlook client, and send emails internally and add stuff to the public folders. The problems start to happen when I try and install a service pack for Exchange (the problem happens for both Exchange SP1 SP2 and SP3) The Problem:- When I run the update for the exchange service packs, I get the following message:- 'Prerequisites for Microsoft Exchange Messaging and Collaboration Services failed: The component "Microsoft Exchange Messaging and Collaboration Services" cannot be assigned the action "Update" because: - The Active Directory schema is not up-to-date. You must run setup with the "/ForestPrep" switch. If you have already done this with the current version of Setup, then you must wait for replication to complete. Consult your documentation for details. - The local domain configuration is not up-to-date. You must run setup with the "/DomainPrep" switch within this domain. If you have already done this with the current version of Setup, then you must wait for replication to complete. Consult your documentation for details. Any ideas??? _________________________________________________________________ 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]
