Process MSEXCHANGEADTOPOLOGYSERVIC E.EXE (PID=1340). Topology discovery failed, error 0x80040a02 (DSC_E_NO_SUITABLE_CDC). Look up the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) error code specified in the event description. To do this, use Microsoft Knowledge Base article 218185, "Microsoft LDAP Error Codes." Use the information in that article to learn more about the cause and resolution to this error. Use the Ping or PathPing command-line tools to test network connectivity to local domain controllers.

I did a little bit of googling and few blogs/forums are suggesting to add exchange server account o "Domain Admins" computer group and look like this worked for most of the people.
I am trying to install Exchange 2007 on Windows 2008 SP2 R2 server.

You are running Windows 2008 R2? Are you sure?
I would first make sure DNS settings etc are all correct and no firewall etc. is blocking communications to your DCs/GCs. Also I have heard about a similar issue on Windows 2008 if IPv6 is disabled. If you have disabled IPv6, re-enable and try again, just to make sure (and don't ask me for an explanation why this should possible make a difference, I don't have one).
