Trying to install Exchange 2007 on a domain member server and I'm not getting very far at all. I want to do a migration from an existing Exchnage 2007 server. When I run Step 4 from the DVD image to install Exchange Server I immediately get an error popup stating "exchange server setup has encountered an error". The app event log has the following noted in it, anyone have any ideas what's going on? Event ID 4999 Source MSExchange Common The description for Event ID 4999 from source MSExchange Common cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer. If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event. The following information was included with the event: 3068 E12 False The Exchange Setup Log only notes the following [9/16/2009 11:13:02 AM] [0] Operating System version: Microsoft Windows NT 6.0.6001 Service Pack 1.
