If it is the administrator of the child domain, how do I set it (the permissions) the way you are talking about???? It is the same account I used to install it at the child site and had no trouble with it.

Because the account you are using is not recognized an administrator at the administrative group level in Exchange, setup is unable to access AD and setup is unable to contact the schema master. -----Original Message----- From: Arch Willingham To: Exchange Discussions Sent: 7/24/2002 8:52 AM Subject: Exchange SP3 will not install at child site I am trying to install SP3 on Exchange 2000 at a child site. When it gets to the stage of doing the setup, I tried to change the install status of the top item to "UPDATE". Once I do it gives me an error that says it can't install for three reasons (see below). If I go into the log that the setup routine creates ("Exchange Server Setup Progress.log"), the errors all say a derivation of the following: [09:44:44] Prerequisites for Microsoft Exchange Messaging and Collaboration Services failed: The component "Microsoft Exchange Messaging and Collaboration Services" cannot be assigned the action "Update" because: - You must be at least an Exchange Full Administrator at the Administrative Group level to run update. You must use an account that has been granted the Exchange Full Administrator role on the current administrative group, or a higher-level role, using the Exchange Administrative Delegation Wizard. - Setup is unable to access the Windows 2000 Active Directory - Failed to contact the Schema Master server for this Active Directory forest. I am logged in as the administrator of that machine...why won't it work?
