Forest prep failure

Good day,

We are migrating from an old nt4 domain to a win2003 Domain. In this we decided to start over with the profiles, mailboxes and all user dependancies.

We where now ready to install exchange 2003 server on a seperate windows2003 machine. So now we have two domain controllers (Server1, and Server2). And wanted to forestprep and domainprep the AD for exchange installation.

Now we made sure that the user account used was member of the forestadmin, enterpriseadmin, domainadmin, administrator groups and started the d:\i386\setup.exe /forestprep installation of exchange2003 on the "Default-first-site" server and Catalog server (server 1).

Now the install (wizard) finished without errors, but when checking the user object tabs no exchange options where added. (microsoft called that the method of check if the forest prep was succesfull.

Now the log tels a other story about what happend.

The first errors occur with a state check (cluster) this is correct, Next
the true failing error is that an AD component is not dependable
component : {94b7ad3e-0b63-42ac-a542-082ed1f78787}

next the install of the exchange components fail with error codes:
0x80070057 (87) wich is what i beleave is an "invalid argument" error.

Does anyone had these problems and know how to solve them?

thanks in advance..

Did you run the domain prep Before trying to install Exchange?

reply to wwwally 03:36PM ->

like i stated in the first post, like other exchange installes we did that fist actually :)

and in the log this isnt a problem either :

[12:01:15] Checking permissions in the Config NC: /dc=local/dc=AMIS/cn=Configuration/cn=Services
[12:01:15] We have permission ConfigNC_Read

[12:01:15] We have permission DomainNC_Read
[12:01:15] We have permission DomainNC_Write

the next entries in the log are to check if this is an update (from exchange2000 - > 2003)
[12:01:15] Checking to see if an Exchange org exists
[12:01:15] Didn't find an org -- extending Config NC permissions to org/AG level

[12:01:15] We have already determined that we have inherited full AG-level perms, so we're not checking at that level

wich is not the case here, we have exchange5.5 running but located in a different domain. We have build a new domain with some basic trusts to share user permissions.

reply to wwwally 03:42PM ->

in this log the forest prep was allready executed and succesfull (see entry ->[##:##:##] Domain is forestprepped

in mine the forest prep fails wich is actually the first state of install...

I found a problem throug one of your links, it consisted in exchange losing its replication rights on the domain after not setting the correct replication rights and trusts between the two machines. I solved it with a reinstall of the whole machine (wich was nearly empty) to solve the registry problem that was consistant even after the replication rights problem wich prevented me from making a role back.

Now i reinstalled everything dubble checking the DCdiag, Netdiag, Forestprep, Domainprep, install logs and all went well on the fly.

Dont know what went wrong the first time (network hickups or other) but it is functional now..

Thank u all for your time and trouble..
