I have spent 3 days now in installing E12 Beta 1 and still haven't succeded.
I have a Windows 2003 server SP1 with following on the same machine.
- .Net framework 2.0,
- MMC 3.0,
- IIS,
- a completely new domain controler with a new domain that is the root of the forest,
- domain functional level set to win server 2003,
- a new DNS on the same machine (our IT guy that has set up several exchange 2003 servers
helped me with this tasks)
- administrator account that is in the schema admin, enterprise admin groups etc.
with all this things the install always hungs in the instalation pre-checks no matter
for which role I try to install.
The output is always the same:
Total: 2 objects. 1 succeeded, 1 failed.
Organization Prerequisites
Completed
Status: Completed.
Elapsed Time: 00:00:21
Mailbox Server Role Prerequisites
Failed
A critical error has been found during analysis: {0}
Cannot write to the Domain Container in the AD.
A critical error has been found during analysis: {0}
E12 Beta 1 servers must be installed into the root domain of the forest.
The same IT guy that helped me set up the domain controler and DNS cant make nothing of this errors,
and we spent several hours trying to make heads and tails of it.
Has anybody come to a similar situation and solved it?
Any help would be very appreciated.
