Error during fresh install of Exchange 2007
Hi everyone,
I am doing a fresh Exchange 2007 install on a brand new server in a new domain running Server 2003 x64. I was able to install most of the components using a standard install, but it failed with the Mailbox role. I get the following error:
Error:
The Exchange server address list service failed to respond. This could be because of an address list or email address policy configuration error.
Warning:
An unexpected error has occurred and a Watson dump is being generated: The Exchange server address list service failed to respond. This could be because of an address list or email address policy configuration error. It was running command '$error.Clear(); $count=0; $ExchangeServers = Get-ExchangeServer -DomainController $RoleDomainController; foreach($server in $ExchangeServers) { if(($server.AdminDisplayVe
Elapsed Time: 00:00:26
This is the only server in a new domain. All the services are running normally, and I have a database created and mounted, with the Default Offline Address Book assigned to it through EMC. However, I keep getting this error, and I can't figure it out.
I have spent time researching this online, and came across this KB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/935636
I tried all these, and they did not work.
System Attendant is started, and I have rebooted after installation. I also have this error in the setup log:
Microsoft.Exchange.Data.Di
Since we have Outlook 2003 and Entourage clients, we had to select the option for backwards compatibility.
The purportedSearch attribute of the recipient policies was set to (mailNickname=*) by default.
Nothing on the Internet has turned up anything useful so far, and several websites keep pointing back to that MS KB article. Any help would be appreciated.

have you created any policy manually??
Exchange 2007 setup has this validation check, that stops the setup if parenthesis "(" ")" or ampersand "&" characters are found in the purportedSearch attribute for a recipient policy already existing in your Exchange 2003 organization.
Simply use ADSIEDIT, navigate to Configuration --> Services --> MS Exchange --> [organization name] --> Recipient Policies.
For each recipient policy, open up the purportedSearch attribute and make a note of the original value. Then clear that value to <not set>. Once this has been done for all recipient policies, setup should complete.

Yeah, that's another step that I tried, and that did not work. I believe it did not work because it is not an existing Exchange 2003 organization.

Well, at least, we'll find out. The server still has to be re-installed, but that appears to be the problem.

yep, it worked.
