win2k8sp2 exchange 2007 sp1 I went to servers, drilled down to the server and added administrator to the group and it allowed me to install. What I dont understand is that this is a fresh install of 2008 server with a new install of 2007 exchange... Why in the heck is there any errors and why should a user have to do "anything" other than choose the options he wants and hit next...

Hi, Please let us know below information 1) Exact error you see when tried to mount database? 2) Event errors in event viewer when you tried mount Database? 3) If you can put in here Exchangesetup.log Regards Chinthaka
