Re: Failed to install SRS with error The distinguished name already exists...

2003-01-08 Thread Mark H
I have had this error when trying to create an additional SRS on a server
that had had one previously.  Is this what is happening in your case?  It
was during a call I had logged with Microsoft PSS.  They looked up their
version of the article (255703) and the engineers original notes but could
offer no further information.

I can't remember off-hand how we got round the issue but if you called PSS
I would hope they do not charge you since it is their article that is at
fault and not your interpretation.  I'll ask my colleagues and if someone
remembers what we did (other than installing an SRS on a different server)
I'll let you know.

 I am trying to install the SRS on a server and keep getting the error,
 
 The distinguished name already exists.  Try the operation again.  If
 the error reocurs, try stopping the directory service and the
 Administrator program and then restarting them.

 The only article I can find says I need to remove the distinguished name
 but does not provide any details on how to do this.  Has anyone come
 across this before?

Yes there was a previous SRS on this server.  I am also sure
uninstalling exchange and demoting this domain controller (it's a backup
server - no mailboxes), renaming the server and reinstalling exchange
will allow me to create a new SRS - but I'd rather know the cause 
resolution.

I can see an entry for the server in the OU=Domain Controllers
section.  Can you be more specific?

Thanks
