If I recall correctly, in addition to Exchange Full Admin rights in the organization (it might be only the Administrative Group), you need to be a domain admin in the domain into which you are installing Exchange. I do not believe you need administrative rights in the root domain once the forest has been prepped.
Microsoft has lots of KB articles and whitepapers on what permissions you need.

I am working on getting proper rights. But the tech lead on this, wants to know if E2K can be installed in the child domain using the parent domain account.* (* I don't know!) Now for the forest/domain structure is as follows; 2 domains 1 parent 1 child both domains are in the same forest, thus giving them the trust.
