Of course. What I meant was: do I need to upgrade my EXCHANGEX NT4 domain (where the MSX 5.5 server lives) to mixed-mode AD and install the E2K server in the EXCHANGEX domain (now AD) before I can join the MSX5.5 org and site? The MSX5.5 server is in the EXCHANGEX domain and uses an EXCHANGEX domain user ID as the service account. I've got plenty of books, and white-papers stacked to the ceiling. I've read most of the win2k and E2k resource kit books, and I've read planning papers until my eyes are blurry. My original plan was to leave the EXCHANGEX NT4 domain and it's MSX 5.5 server alone and install the E2K server in my AD domain KII (kii.kimball.com) (this is where the user accounts all live). Then, I'd move the mailboxes from the MSX 5.5 server to the E2K server and retire the MSX 5.5 server and the EXCHANGEX domain. >From all the planning guides and white papers I've seen, this should be a viable strategy. However, my E2K install is failing with an error "0xc0070534: No mapping between account names and security IDs was done" when installing SRS. My general plan of attack: 1. Install empty root domain (ads.kimball.com) creating forest. 2. Install ADC 3. Forestprep 4. Upgrade NT 4 domain KII (master user domain) to AD (kii.kimball.com) 5. DomainPrep both domains. 6. Create *one-way* CA from MSX5.5 server to kii.kimball.com 7. Install E2K server in the *kii.kimball.com* domain joining the MSX5.5 org and site. 8. Move mailboxes from 5.5 server to E2K server 9. Retire 5.5 server (carefully paying attention to first server in site issues) 10. Retire NT 4 EXCHANGEX domain. Note that my MSX5.5 server would be in the NT4 domain EXCHANGEX and my E2K server would be in kii.kimball.com. Would this prevent me from adding an E2K server to my MSX5.5 org and site? I am confused on a couple of points: 1. Q270143 says that in mixed mode exchange *all* servers must use the same "service account". Since E2K doesn't use a "service account", what are they talking about? Should the E2K Exchange services run as the MSX5.5 service account user ID instead of the system account? 2. The paper titled "Microsoft Exchange 2000 Internals: Installation and Setup" says I need a *two-way* connection agreement between MSX5.5 and AD. I did not think a two-way agreement was required. -----Original Message----- From: Ed Crowley [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, February 01, 2002 12:33 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: RE: I'm confused now! Your Exchange 2000 server CANNOT be in your NT 4.0 domain because it must be in an Active Directory domain. I can tell that this question is just the beginning of a long series of questions. I advise you to pick up a good Exchange 2000 book like Tony Redmond's and start reading, because you have a lot of necessary foundation work.

My existing MSX 5.5 server is in an NT4 domain called "EXCHANGEX". I'm wanting to install an E2K server in kii.kimball.com (netbios name kii). I want to join the E2K to the MSX 5.5 org and site so that I can move mailboxes. Will this not work? Does my E2K server have to be in the EXCHANGEX domain?

Mixed mode includes 5.5 servers too. I guess they mean all the 5.5 servers must be running the same SA.
