This is a "builtin feature" of E2K... XADM: Exchange 2000 Installation Requires Access to Schema Master (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=280178)
http://www.petri.co.il/exchange_disasterecovery_switch.htm It is a check the exchange schema update has been applied I also remember another buggy feature of resetting custom permissions on the exchange container to the default permissions. Not sure it that was resolved by some hotfix Cheers, Jorge -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kern, Tom Sent: Friday, August 26, 2005 18:48 To: [email protected] Subject: [ActiveDir] Exchange issues again(ot) 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?!!
