RE: Exchange 2007 Install Probs
OK, I am glad someone is around. I just changed the FSMO roles to a win2k3 R2 Sp2 DC. Domain Functional Level is Windows 2000 Native DNS is an issue. I tried to DCPROMO the win2k server and it errors out saying it can not find a DC with the account on it. This AD has never had an Exchange server on it From: Jason Gurtz [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thu 7/3/2008 7:02 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange 2007 Install Probs > 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.

Re: Exchange 2007 Install Probs
I had the same issue, I just made all of my DCs GCs as well and it worked. John W. Cook Systems Administrator Partnership For Strong Families - Original Message - From: Chris Blair <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Sent: Thu Jul 03 19:51:10 2008 Subject: Exchange 2007 Install Probs I have been fighting with this one all day. 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 ?
