I am running through the Ex07 install and during the readiness check I get the following error: Error: Setup encountered a problem while validating the state of Active Directory: Could not find any Global Catalog in forest domainname.com. I have verified that the DC's have GC records. Two of the DC's are Win2k3 R2, one is Win2k SP4. The 2k3 servers are the only GC's. Anyone around ?
