RE: Failed to install SRS with error "The distinguished name already exists..."
I can see an entry for the server in the "OU=Domain Controllers" section. Can you be more specific?

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. -Original Message- From: Mark H [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, 9 January 2003 12:50 AM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Re: Failed to install SRS with error "The distinguished name already exists..." 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. rgrds Mark > I am trying to install the SRS on a server and keep getting the error, > > "The distinguished name already exists.
