Exchange 2007 coexistence with Exchange 2003?
I've tried to install Ex2007 in a Ex2003 org. The installation went fine, I can mount the public folder database but not the mailbox database on the new exchange 2007 server. I can't create a new one either. I get the following error message:
--------------------------------------------------------
Microsoft Exchange Error
--------------------------------------------------------
Failed to mount database 'Mailbox Database'.
Mailbox Database
Failed
Error:
Exchange is unable to mount the database that you specified. Specified database: 7cb36a6a-bd3e-418f-8975-8f98909a22d4; Error code: MapiExceptionCallFailed: Unable to mount database. (hr=0x80004005, ec=-2147467259).
--------------------------------------------------------
OK
--------------------------------------------------------
Ther is now .edb file where the database is supposed to be and no one is created when I try to create a new one.
Thanks
