Hi all,
we recently began an Exchange 5.5 to 2003 'migration' following much of
the stories from Microsoft on how this is to be done.
After some initial problems with the domain setup reported by the
migration tools and ADC replication, we finally managed to get the
Exchange 5.5 information ported to AD.
After the MSX2k3 install was complete, we rebooted the server without
moving any mailboxes, etc.. onto it and few of the services started. We
changed them to start with the Exchange Service account on the domain but
this did not help.
We have since changed it all back to starting with LocalSystem, but the
system attendand will not start, with an error along the lines of
Event ID: 9157
Insufficient access to read exchange config objects in the AD
Searching knowledgebase indicates that this is a problem with a missing
machine account in the domain. But the machine account is still there and
it can log onto the domain properly. Its machine account is also a member
of the groups necessary for Exchange to operate.
Running DCDiag /s: (as recommended by the article on 9157) produces an
error about the domain owner being deleted (as seen below):
Starting test: KnowsOfRoleHolders
Warning: CN="NTDS Settings
DEL:0823a07d-02b9-418f-b2e9-77ae43a23098",CN="OLDDC
DEL:5cd640b3-b566-4030-8522-a7292249ed1c",CN=Servers,
CN=Default-First-Site-Name,CN=Sites,CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=com is
the Domain Owner, but is deleted.
......................... E2K3 failed test KnowsOfRoleHolders
Could these issues be related to our exchange woes? (I realise the AD part
is off topic, but we dont know if this is causing the problem for
Exchange).
Any advice on this issue is appreciated.
Regards,
Luke
