>> Sheesh, i'm getting to hate Exchange That's a very common feeling. Eventually people either come to love it or learn to live with it - ask Joe :-) Anyway, your question is broad, but let me briefly explain this: When you ran ForestPrep, you are just creating (empty) place-holders in the Schema for Exchange-specific objects and attributes. Things like ms-Exch-Information-Store, ms-Exch-IP-Address, like Org name, server name, Routing Groups, etc. You were putting the structure in place, so to speak. Now, that you are really installing Exchange, the install process needs to supply values for some of those "place-holders". We need to plug in the name of the Exchange server(s), the admin/routing group info, things like that. You follow? If you REALLY must know what's done when and where, the Exchange Server Technical Reference is a good (and informative) weekend-killer. You should be able to download it from the exchange site on microsoft.com/exchange Good luck. Now I have to bail. Sincerely,

Isn't this kinda a bug or at the least a big annoyance that everytime you need to recover or install a new exchange server, you need connectivity to the schema master? What would a reinstall need to write, anyway? its already in AD. What the heck is it doing? whats the point of forestprep then? Sheesh, i'm getting to hate Exchange. Thanks, i'll see if your "hack" works and write back. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Fri 8/26/2005 1:09 PM To: [email protected] Cc: Subject: RE: [ActiveDir] Exchange issues again(ot) List info : http://www.activedir.org/List.aspx List FAQ : http://www.activedir.org/ListFAQ.aspx List archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/activedir%40mail.activedir.org/
