I'm trying to install exchange 2k with the diasterrecovery switch. I have no
connectivity to the Schema master FSMO at the moment and exchange keeps telling
me it can't go forward because it can't contact the Schema master.
Now, i'm not trying to run forestprep(this has already been done). I'm just
reinstalling an exchange server that exists in AD already?
Why would it need the schema master?
Does someone know of a MS document that says installing subsequent exchange
servers or reinstalling an existing server or running the diasterrecovery
switch requires connectivity to the schema master?
because this makes no sense to me. It doesn't need to write to the schema.
Forestprep has been run and there is an existing exchange org in the forest.
I'm running this reinstall as a EA and exchange full admin.
Help?!!
Thanks
