Need to run Exchange 2007 DomainPrep and ForestPrep remotely without the Exchange CD at the site
I need to run ForestPrep and DomainPrep for Active Directory on our Child Domain. I don't have the CD onsite there so I was hoping to copy the files need from the Exchange CD and across the network to accomplish this. If this is possible, what files would I need? I did it when I needed to prep the domain to upgrade active directory from 2003 to 2008. Hoping it works the same.
They are located un the support.cab file. You can extract them. /support/tools
ASKER
I need to know which files off the media need to be copied.
Copy entire i386 folder across the network to accomplish this.
