I have two Windows Server 2000 SP4 domain controllers. (Server1 and
Server2) Server2 also has Exchange 2003 SP2 installed on it.

I want to get Exchange 2007 going. So I setup a new Server (Server3)
with Windows 2003 SP2. This Server is a domain controller. I
transferred all the FSMO roles and Global Catalog over so it's now the
primary domain controller. The original domain controller was
Server1, a Windows 2000 Server.

I created a Windows Server 2003 x64 SP2 Server that will be used for
Exchange 2007. When I run setup /PrepareLegacyExchangePermissions I
get no errors:

D:\Admin\en_exchange_2007_standard_and_enterprise_dvd_X12-98653>setup /
PrepareLegacyExchangePermissions

Welcome to Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Unattended Setup

The Microsoft Exchange Server setup operation completed successfully.

However, when I run setup /PrepareSchema I get the following error:

D:\Admin\en_exchange_2007_standard_and_enterprise_dvd_X12-98653>setup /
PrepareSchema

Welcome to Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Unattended Setup

state of Active Directory: Domain Controller 'Server1.domain.com'
Operating System version is 5.0 (2195) Service Pack 4. The minimum
version required is 5.2 (3790) Service Pack 1.

The Exchange Server setup operation did not complete. Visit

information.
Exchange Server setup encountered an error.


I am not sure why it is looking for the old primary domain
controller, Server1. It should look at Server3 which is Windows
2003. All the FSMO roles have been properly copied over. The event
viewer stated this when I transferred the roles over. I even ran
netdom query pdc and netdom query fsmo and it all points to Server3.

Any idea why when I try to install Exchange 2007 or run setup /
PrepareSchema it points to the old domain controller, Server1???

Any help would be great.

Server 1 is still a DC and in the same AD subnet?

Yes, Server1 is still DC. I was debating to demote it. I guess a tad
afraid to perform it since Exchange 2007 is thinking its the primary
DC.

AD are all on the same subnet.

You can specify the DC running setup:

setup /mode:install /domaincontroller:servername

Perfect, that work. Thank you.

I've encountered another error. When I run "setup /PrepareAD [/
OrganizationName: <organization name>" using the domain controller
switch I get the following:

D:\Admin\en_exchange_2007_standard_and_enterprise_dvd_X12-98653>setup /
PrepareAD
/OrganizationName:Org_Name /domaincontroller:servername

Welcome to Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Unattended Setup
Preparing Exchange Setup
No server roles will be installed

Exchange organization name cannot be specified. There already exists
an Exchange organization with name 'Domain"

Exchange Server setup encountered an error.

D:\Admin\en_exchange_2007_standard_and_enterprise_dvd_X12-98653>


Can't Exchange 2003 and Exchange 2007 be in the same domain?
