    - Exchange 2003 issues - help I have a Windows 2000 Domain, 3 DC's one of the DC's is running exchange 5.5. The current 2000 domain was just upgraded from NT 4. I'm running a 2003 ADC for the exchange 5.5 server and Active directory. I have a windows 2003 server with exchange 2003 installed, and I'm in the process of migrating from the 5.5 server to the exchange 2003 server. Everything has gone fine, I went through all of the Steps for installing exchange 2003 with exchange 5.5. After installing exchange 2003 on the 2003 server, I get Event ID 9157 and after I logon to the exchange server It just sits there saying Applying computer settings. When I connect to the server's event log It has the event 9157 which says that the Microsoft Exchange System Attendant does not have sufficient rights to read Exchange configuration objects in Active Directory. When I look at the service it is set to log on as Local System Account. So I change it to the Domain Admin account and the computer starts up but Exchange System Attendant Starts and then stops. I went over Article - 297295 and everything was in order. The Server is having no problem logging onto the Domain. Can anyone give me some ideas.

    - Removing Exchange Server that doesn't exist Hello Single site / 2 DC's (win2k SP4) I installed Exchange 2K on a Windows 2K server (first exchange server) and ran a few tests. I was then told it might be better going for Exchange 2003 on a Windows 2003 server. So I removed the server from active directory and installed Windows 2003 from scratch and then tried to install exchange 2003. I get a warning appearing stating "A server object for this server ("SERVERNAME") already exists in the Administrative Group "First Administrative Group" etc When I tried to remove the old server from system manager I get "Could not remove ("SERVERNAME") because one or more users use a mailbox on this server. Mailboxes must be removed before etc. I cannot move the mailboxes because the server doesn't exist There is no mailboxes or any other info on the old server I need, What do I do??

    - Exchange Services not starting automatically MTA and Information Store services are not starting automatically on system startup leaving error messages in the eventviewer but can be started with no problems manually in services.msc ? Why is that ? My Exchange 2003 is installed on my fresh installed Windows 2003 DC There are currently no user accounts in my AD and no real postboxes in Exchange so i can play around a bit.....but not forever.. The server has 2GB ram and four 2Ghz CPU's installed...so you can hardly blame the hardware I even tried setting a service "rule" that states if the service fails to start the first time it should try to start again in 4 minutes....it didn't work....still have to start the services manually.....WHY ?!

    - installation problem with Exchange 2003 In order to save typing, I'm going to make a long, painful, aggravating story short. I have a former front end server that was demoted to a member server in order to perform an email migration/upgrade to Exchange 2003 onto another server. I am now trying to bring it back up as a front end server with Exchange 2003. However, after running all the steps, I get a 0xc007003a error saying "The specified server cannot perform the requested operation." and a termination of the install process. I have scoured the web looking for SOMETHING that could be causing this, as event viewer essentially shrugs it's shoulders and says "Got me." I have uninstalled Exchange 2000 (it was a wonky install anyway) and tried a straight install to 2k3, same error or "unspecified error." I reinstalled 2k, and I'm essentially back where I started from. Any ideas? Tag: installing exchange server 2003 Tag: 111645

I ask because will be connecting an Exchange 2003 server to an Exchange 5.5 server with an X.400 connector. One of the issues is easy synchronization between address books of the 2 sites.

    - Best Configuration of SBS 2000 Email I have this situation: A client with a SBS 2000 network. Clients, of course, are automatically setup with a Microsoft Exchange entry in their Microsoft Outlook on their PCs. This only works locally, of course. They also have e-mail accounts setup through their ISP. I have them accounts setup in Outlook as well. So, we have 2 accounts in Outlook - exchange and the external POP3. I have the POP3 setup as the default. Here is what I want: I want mail addresses to each other in the organization/domain to travel through the Exchange server, and I want external mail to travel out to the Internet. Does this configuration allow for this? Also- Is this the best way of handling this? Is the POP3 connector in SBS the best way to go?

    - Remove 1st Server in Group I installed a E2K3 server into my Exchange 5.5 environment. I moved the mailboxes to my new E2K3 server without any problems and all is well. However, I wanted to remove the original E5.5 server from the Org, but before I could do this, my E5.5 server crashed and is unrecoverable. Now, the E5.5 server is dimmed-out in my servers container along with the SRS connector. I can't delete my original E5.5 server. Can anybody tell me how to remove it? I've tried the MS KB articles and they don't help. I was hoping it would magically disappear over time since its no longer part of my domain. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

    - Move 5.5 to new server, then upgrd to 2003? We have 5.5 running on a w2k member server. We need to replace the server and I'm wondering what the best course would be. We will be moving to Exchange 2003 on Server 2003 later this year. Do I set up the new server with W2k and move the 5.5 Exchange to that server, then do an in-place upgrade of that server to server 2003 and Exchange 2003? Or, do I install Server 2003 on the new server; move 5.5 to it (if possible?); then do in-place upgrade of 5.5 to 2003? Or something alltogether different.

    - Exchange 2003 setup and migration from 5.5 Hi all, I am in the process of moving up to Exchange 2003 from 5.5. I've set up a Windows 2000 Server and joined it to our 2000 domain. I ran setup with /forestprep and the step seemed to complete successfullly, but when I run /domainprep, the setup program says that forestprep has not been run. Was it the proper way to troubleshoot if the steps in forestprep have been completed? Also, can the Active Directory Connector be installed before running /forestprep or /domainprep or if the order of the steps is important (I want to get ahead with the migration if I can while troubleshooting this problem).

During install, next screen after I agree with license, it asks for the service account info. The User name and Domain are greyed and empty and it wont let us proceed with the password. This password is supposed to be for the existing exchange 5.5 install. We used to use 5.5 as part of Small Business server, but have upgraded out of that to the full version of exchange 2000. I suspect SBS has left some settings which make the install think 5.5 is still in use. Anyone got any ideas?? Tag: installing exchange server 2003 Tag: 111571

If your existent DNS Server is compliant with BIND 8.1 or later, you can.
