Hi,Can you provide the setup progress log and the error ID from the application log of the server where you are trying to install exchange server 2007?If there are different domains in the org, try running setup.com /preparealldomains.Ref to: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb288906(EXCHG.80).aspx & http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125224.aspxAll the best :).- Nagesh

Hi,The same error is mentioned in your actual question.Can you post the error in the setup progress log, which will be <Driveletter>:\ExchangeSetupLogs\Exchangesetup?Also please look for the event ID that was generated while the installation was failed.- Nagesh

The error in Exchangesetup.log is (but is the same....):[2/20/2010 4:16:07 PM] [1] [ERROR] Unexpected error [0x37BCB8D0] while executing command '$error.Clear(); foreach ($lcid in (get-DsnSupportedLanguages)) { $lcidStr = $lcid.ToString([System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo].InvariantInfo); install-Container -Name:"Transport Settings","DSN Customization",$lcidStr -DomainController $RoleDomainController; install-Container -Name:"Transport Settings","DSN Customization",$lcidStr,"Internal" -DomainController $RoleDomainController; install-Container -Name:"Transport Settings","DSN Customization",$lcidStr,"External" -DomainController $RoleDomainController; }'.[2/20/2010 4:16:07 PM] [1] [ERROR] Multiple ambiguous overloads found for "ToString" and the argument count: "1".[2/20/2010 4:16:08 PM] [1] [ERROR] Unexpected error [0x37BCB8D0] while executing command '$error.Clear(); foreach ($lcid in (get-DsnSupportedLanguages)) { $lcidStr = $lcid.ToString([System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo].InvariantInfo); install-Container -Name:"Transport Settings","DSN Customization",$lcidStr -DomainController $RoleDomainController; install-Container -Name:"Transport Settings","DSN Customization",$lcidStr,"Internal" -DomainController $RoleDomainController; install-Container -Name:"Transport Settings","DSN Customization",$lcidStr,"External" -DomainController $RoleDomainController; }'.[2/20/2010 4:16:08 PM] [1] [ERROR] Unexpected error [0x37BCB8D0] while executing command '$error.Clear(); foreach ($lcid in (get-DsnSupportedLanguages)) { $lcidStr = $lcid.ToString([System.Globalization.NumberFormatInfo].InvariantInfo); install-Container -Name:"Transport Settings","DSN Customization",$lcidStr -DomainController $RoleDomainController; install-Container -Name:"Transport Settings","DSN Customization",$lcidStr,"Internal" -DomainController $RoleDomainController; install-Container -Name:"Transport Settings","DSN Customization",$lcidStr,"External" -DomainController $RoleDomainController; }'.[2/20/2010 4:16:08 PM] [1] [ERROR] Multiple ambiguous overloads found for "ToString" and the argument count: "1".The event id in application log is 4999 and the message is:The description for Event ID ( 4999 ) in Source ( MSExchange Common ) cannot be found.

Hi,Try running the setup.com /p from the DC using the right media version(32 bit/64 bit).The issue arises from: install-Container -Name:"Transport Settings","DSN Customization",$lcidStr -DomainController $RoleDomainController; install-Container -Name:"Transport Settings","DSN Customization",$lcidStr,"Internal" -DomainController $RoleDomainController; install-Container -Name:"Transport Settings","DSN Customization",$lcidStr,"External" -DomainController $RoleDomainController; }'.All the best :)- Nagesh

Maybe I found the problem .... To test I installed a version of Exchange 2007 SP1 and he reported that it not found the installation of PowerShell (reported by readiness check) ... I tried to install it, everything went! The "Readiness Check" of Exchange 2007 SP2 gave me ok .... Thanks anyway for information and patience

Thanks for your feedback.Regards,Xiu
