Hi Ed, Not rights issues as other servers can run setups/upgrades.
The problem was that the server was not resolving the short-name for the top-level GC. Reason unknown as all servers have the same DNS settings and other servers resolve schema master happily. Added the short-name to the local Hosts file to workaround.

Hi, I'm getting the basic error from the install wizard: 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. This is very odd as I have already updated 1 server with no problems! Account does have Full Admin right for the entire org AD and replication appears to be working fine Schema master is visible Details: EX2k Sp2 on W2k SP2. 3 x EX2k servers in Admin group, front-end OWA server successfully upgraded. 2 x GC's on same subnet, no DNS errors, nothing in logs Tried: Update with services EX2k and IIS all stopped. Reboot and re-try Add W2k SP3 and re-try Any ideas?
