I have to install Exchange 2007 which was already purchased before i think of purchasing Exchange 2010. Thank you

Did you retry the installation a couple of times? That's often required in my experience to install a clustered mailbox server. If that doesn't work, you might try uninstalling Exchange, destroying the cluster, then trying again.Ed Crowley MVP "There are seldom good technological solutions to behavioral problems."

Hi Do you see any relevant error about installation. 1. Check and See if the customer has Visualized the NIC Card Note Teaming is Supported with exchange 2007 is supported with Exchange 2007 but making 1 Nic Card into 2 virtual is not done as the bandwith would be divided and NIC would not be able to perform to optimum and Exchange would consider the NIC as Faulty 2. To resolve this problem, run the Setup process again with the /newcms option. The following Web pages explain how to use the command-line version of Setup (Setup.com) or the Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 1 (SP1) Setup wizard (Setup.exe) to install the Mailbox server role on a cluster CCR in Windows Server 2008. For more information about how to install the Active Clustered Mailbox role in a CCR environment in Windows Server 2008, visit the following Microsoft Web site: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb676458.aspx For more information about how to install the Passive Clustered Mailbox role in a CCR environment in Windows Server 2008, visit the following Microsoft Web site: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb691316.aspx

Hi Can you post your event error ID ? Checked in Active Directory Users and Computers, there was no computer object created for Network Name resource. >>Confirmed that the user account used for installation had Domain Admin and Exchange Organization Administrator privileges. >>Uninstall Exchange from Add/Remove programs. >>Delete Exchange Computer object under Configuration container using ADSIEdit . ("<Config>\Services\Microsoft Exchange\<Org>\Administrative Groups\<E2k7 AG>\Servers) >>Deleted following Registry keys. 1) HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Exchange 2)HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchange ADACCESS Using "Group Policy Management" console on a DC, checked Domain Controller Security Policy and found "Authenticated Users" was not part of Policy "Add workstations to domain" policy. >>With Windows 2008 we don't use domain user account as cluster service account instead we use local system account, and for system account to able to create "Computer Object" in Domain, we need "Authenticated Users" group added in group policy "Add workstations to domain" under "Domain Controller Security Policy". >>We added "Authenticated Users" group in policy "Add workstations to domain" as below and "Network Name" resource come online successfully. 1) Under Default Domain Controllers Policy\Computer Configuration\Policies\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\User Rights Assignment. 2) Added "Authenticated Users" Group to "Add Workstations to domain". 3) Ran Gpupdate /force. Then you can install "Active Cluster Mailbox Server role" This blog explains the process.

Thanks Terence, After two weeks of installing and un-installing, reading and correspondencing on technet.microsoft.com coupled with less hours of sleep and a lot of sitting, my exchange 2007 is up on a CCR setup. This is what i had to do; Checked in Active Directory Users and Computers, there was no computer object created for Network Name resource. >>Confirmed that the user account used for installation had Domain Admin and Exchange Organization Administrator privileges. >>Uninstall Exchange from Add/Remove programs. >>I Delete Exchange Computer object under Configuration container using ADSIEdit from the Domain Controller(s) ("<Config>\Services\Microsoft Exchange\<Org>\Administrative Groups\<E2k7 AG>\Servers) >>I Deleted the Registry keys on the Two new Servers i was installing Exchange 2007 1) HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Exchange 2)HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\MSExchange ADACCESS Restarted the two servers Then i run the setup.com in the command prompt to install the Active node and then changed to the other server and installed the passive node. And that was it, my Exchange is smoothly running and i am heading for the end-to-end stage.
