Hi Have a look at this thread: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/exchangesvrdeploy/thread/2023cbc2-6669-49d4-8d14-6c53aad641c5/ Cheers, Steve

Hi Steve i actually looked at that thread which suggested to run the setup again with the sp1 files, I did that and still ended up with the same error I dot know if i am doing something wrong or missing something

Hi The part that was important was the bit about specifying the domain controller: setup.com /mode:install /role:mailbox /DomainController:DC.contoso.com /InstallWindowsComponents Did you try that too? Steve Edit to add: You can also install using the SP2 setup files rather than SP1.
