Installing the 1st Ex2K3 server in a single domain Ex2k/W2K domain. The new
Exchange server is on a new W2k3 server that is NOT a DC. As I go thru the
deplyment tools I get an error from the Exchange Install Wizard. Either
don't have premission or AD too busy. I'm running this forest prep on the
W2K3 server itself. I am the only admin, admin logged into server, admin has
permissions to Schema, Enterprise and Domain admins.

I tried running Forest Prep from a DC but then I don't get a choice of
Forest Prep it just gives me the choices to install Exchanges Server 03 which
of course not what I want to do. What elese could be the problem here and
who could I call to get help from since we just bought this software from MS.
Thanks

You should do it on the Schema Master rather than any other DC or a
member server.
If you run "setup.exe /forestprep" on the SM you're not going to get
the normal setup option. The drop down list will just present you with
the forest prep option.
