Thank you all for your help. I did get this resolved and it appears that I had not removed all the system mailboxes. I removed them all and did an AD prep which did not make the folders but then when I did the schema prep it did. Once that was done it was smooth sailing. Thanks again for your help

I am installing Exchange 2013 SP1 on a 2012 R2 standard machine in a domain that has a 2010 SP3 Exchange server in it already. A screenshot of the error is attached. It fails every time I try to install and a cursory search online has not helped. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling and still no change. Has anyone seen this error and been able to resolve it without completely wiping out the server or starting another domain and migrating machines and data over?<br />

Exchange 2013 install error

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Exchange

Within Internet message handling services (MHS), a message transfer agent or mail transfer agent (MTA) or mail relay is software that transfers electronic mail messages from one computer to another using a client–server application architecture. A MTA implements both the client (sending) and server (receiving) portions of the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). The terms mail server, mail exchanger, and MX host may also refer to a computer performing the MTA function. The Domain Name System (DNS) associates a mail server to a domain with mail exchanger (MX) resource records containing the domain name of a host providing MTA services.

Email Servers

The Microsoft Server topic includes all of the legacy versions of the operating system, including the Windows NT 3.1, NT 3.5, NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 and Windows Home Server versions.
