I realize there are several post about this but I have more issues. I am trying to install exchange 2007 on a widows 2008 server. It went bad and the server died. I though I had it all cleaned out when I got this. . setup /PrepareAD Welcome to Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 Unattended Setup Preparing Exchange Setup No server roles will be installed Performing Microsoft Exchange Server Prerequisite Check Organization Checks ......................... COMPLETED Configuring Microsoft Exchange Server Organization Preparation .........................

Exchange Server setup encountered an error. The posts were helpful but I am un able to preform the needed actions When useing adsiedit on the domain controler win2003 I get "The server is unwilling to process the request"when I go to the cn=configuration,dc=org name and try and edit the wellknownobjects. On the wondows2008 server I get there is no editor registered to handle this attribute type. Also when useing adsiedit in windows 2008 I see the B:32:A7D2016C83F003458132789EEB127B84 but when doing it on the win2003 DC I see ;; in the value. Any other way to change this or get around it. Thanks

Hi, I would try to post this question in an active dir news group as it is much more AD related than exchange server related. Leif

Please check the otherwellknownobjects attribute on the CN=Configuration container.It should set to <not set> 2.Please check the otherwellknownobjects attribute on Microsoft Exchange Container It should set to <not set> You can refer to the below similar thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/technet/showpost.aspx?pageindex=2&siteid=17&postid=1600550&sb=0&d=1&at=7&ft=11&tf=0&pageid=1 More information share with you: How to Modify Attributes That Replicate to the Global Catalog http://support.microsoft.com/kb/248717/en-us Hope it helps.
