I recently installed the Beta 2 software onto a server 2003 x64 machine, with no identified problems, however when I open the Exchange Management Console and endevour to set the Organization Configuration, I receive the following error - ---------------------------Microsoft Exchange---------------------------Group "3d604b35-d992-4155-aafd-8c0ae688ea0f" was not found. Please make sure you have typed it correctly.---------------------------OK --------------------------- My thoughts are this may indicate a correct installation or something missed perhaps? Any advice / assistance appreciated Nigel.

Can you repeat the steps you were trying---are you trying to add/remove and Exchange Administrator (i.e. delegation wizard), I'm not sure what you mean by set the organization config exactly. Also can you do other operations on the server---like create a new address list or see server properties etc. Thanks, ~vivek

I just opened up ExchangeManagment Console and clicked on Organization Configuration and received the error (as detailed above). I have just attemptedanother operation on the server - I clicked on Server Configuration and then Hub Transport and received the error listed below. --------------------------------------------------------Microsoft Exchange Error--------------------------------------------------------1 error(s) were reported while loading topology information: FailedError:The Exchange group with GUID "6c01d2a7-f083-4503-8132-789eeb127b84" was not found. This group gets created during setup, but it has been deleted. --------------------------------------------------------OK-------------------------------------------------------- Any Suggestions Cheers Nigel

Can please file a bug and include the setup logs (ExchangeSetup.log) or post your logs here? The groups referenced in the errors above should have been created during prepare AD phase of setup and seem to be missing. Meanwhile, you should be able to run preparead safely again. You can do this from the Exchange install point: setup.exe /prepareAD This will rerun prepare AD and finish the steps that were not complete before. If you still get errors after successfully rerunning preparead, then we definately have a bug. Thanks, ~vivek
