Hi, Delete the account DiscoverySearchMailbox* in ADUC. You will find it in the Users Container. Then run Setup.com /prepareAD before you start the installation of Exchange. Aslo make sure you use the latest binaries and that would be SP2 and nothing else. Martina Miskovic

About 5 minutes after I posted this, I was able to get my problem resolved. This is what I did to fix the problem; Delete the account DiscoverySearchMailbox and also the arbitration accounts and run setup.com /preparead before running the Setup again. Arbitration Accounts/Mailboxes to be deleted: SystemMailbox{1f05a927-e6c7-4ab8-88fc-31ff7dea8d3c} SystemMailbox{e0dc1c29-89c3-4034-b678-e6c29d823ed9} FederatedEmail.4c1f4d8b-8179-4148-93bf-00a95fa1e042
