Exchange Server

Jim Semmelroth · Guest

I have attempted a fresh install of Exchange 2003 but Exchange halted the
install. I opened an incident last week to clear up some lingering problems
with my DNS and AD. Those problems were resolved and I thought I had a well
functioning AD to install into. The following output clip is from the Setup
progress log from the halted installation. Does this output suggest
something to anyone for what my next step would be.

While running Forestprep and Domainprep, I received the compatibility issue
message that points to a basic "Server Requirements for Exchange Server 2003"
document. Other posts on this list have said to ignore that compatibility
message. I did.

Thanks.

I would suggest reopening your PSS Incident if you can, most likely they
will work with you again if you explain you are still having issues since
Exchange requires AD to be working properly.
