We're in teh process of installing 1st Ex2007 server in our 2003 domain. Preliminary bits went fine, but then failed to install Mailbox role with: "
Error:
The Exchange server address list service failed to respond. This could be because of an address list or email address policy configuration error.
Warning:
An unexpected error has occurred and a Watson dump is being generated: The Exchange server address list service failed to respond. This could be because of an address list or email address policy configuration error. It was running command '$error.Clear(); $count=0; $ExchangeServers = Get-ExchangeServer -DomainController $RoleDomainController; foreach($server in $ExchangeServers) { if(($server.AdminDisplayVersion.Build -gt 641) -and ($server.IsMailboxServer -eq $true)) { $count++; } } if( $count -eq 1) { Set-OrganizationConfig -DomainController $RoleDomainController; }'.
*************
Only help we can find on the web is someone who said he'd deleted all his recipient policies. We're *very* loth to do this especially as any attempt to create new policy/GAl from the Ex2007 mangement console bascially results in same error. So we *could* delete all our policies and GALs but woudl then have to recreate manually in Ex2003 which would bring us full circle.
Any ideas?
