It was a fresh Windows 2000 Server installation, no service pack yet installed, installing from a "Select" CD containing Exchange EE 5.5. I don't recall the exact error message, as this was a week or two ago and the machine is no longer in my hands, so I can't re-create the problem. Sorry this is so unhelpful. I guess I'll try it again in a week when I get that box back. Maybe I just goofed something up.

Hmmm... I've not seen that error before. I've got a brand spanking new W2K server sitting right next to me that I just installed Exchange 5.5 on without any trouble at all. Do you have AD running or is it a stand alone? What SP? -----Original Message----- From: Lunsford, Sean [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2001 12:38 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: install Exch 5.5 on Windows 2000? I've tried installing Exchange Server 5.5 on a box running Windows 2000 Server, and every time I try I get a "won't work with this software" type of message. Yet I hear of people running Exchange 5.5 on Windows 2000. What am I missing? Are folks installing Exchange 5.5 to Windows NT Server 4.0, then migrating to Windows 2000 Server? Help...
