You have to have a matching organization name and administrative group name. That's all. Since Exchange 2007 sets the admin group for you, I will conclude that you entered a different organization name.

Once upon a time we had a server that was the only DC in a single forest with a single domain (so a one trick pony) and it was the Exchange server also. Then we grew and got a new server and moved exchange over. Now we also have a second DC and still growing. In a recent exercise we set up 1 DC and 1 Exchange box and then trashed it all to start over but we kept the mailbox database. It seems that now we have set up a new DC and Exchange server (and so a new domain) we cant get any data out of our old MDB into our new set up because the database is from a different domain. Is this really the case, is the data in the mailbox database completely inaccessible? I have taken PST exports so I will be hopefully reimporting them after I have remade the mailboxes however, cast your mind back to our one trick pony set up, this means that if that server ever died it would have been the end of the domain and so backups of exchange would have been useless, surely Exchange 2007 can't be that bad? -- Regards, James. http://www.jamesbensley.co.cc/ There are 10 kinds of people in the world; Those who understand Vigesimal, and J others...?
