Giving as little information as possible does not entice me to work harder on your problem
HI!

I think first you will have to install the roles before you could start installation.

refer this article;

http://www.msexchange.org/articles_tutorials/exchange-server-2007/migration-deployment/installing-exchange-2007-windows-server-2008.html

let me know.

Thanks.

Jawad.
Thanks for the feedback.

kieran_b: = I am not sure what other info you want. In my first post i listed the entire (Readiness Checks) and then right below that i posted info on my server which you would have seen that it was a 2008 64bit server. So really what do you mean by your post and what other info do you want. Just tell me and i will post it??

jawad1481: = Thanks i will try and install all the needed roles and get back to you afterwards.

Thanks
I'm sure this is a moot point but is the server 2008 box joined to the domain?

CoryInIT: Yes it is joined to my domain and i double checked to make sure i was logged in as admin under the domain.


debuggerau: I am not sure on the media.. I downloaded the 2003 tools and ran the netdiag (See below next comment for results.

Mestha: I am not sure on the media. The media i have i got from Dell way back in July 2007. It says Microsoft Exchange Server Standard 2007, February 2007 Servers, Microsoft Licensing, Not for resale, Not for OEM, Or retail distribution.. Not sure how you tell if its an RTM media?? I am downloading the newest media though off of my Volume Licensing Site and it is the Microsoft Exchange 2007 W/SP1.... Will take all day to download though so i wont be able to check until late tomorrow. I can swing by work so i can burn it to a disk.  I hope your right on this one :)

Thanks all for the replys
