Greetings,
Thanks for the reply both are W2K-DC and yes both can see each other via ping FQDN, I can even see of members of both domains from one domain. The trusts are there I think created by default, I know I can login in both domains from any domain. (the credentials box let me select either thre first or 2nd domain on both DCs) How can I convert the 2nd nt domain to AD domain? What is the benefit? Was not this supposed to be done when I ran DCPROMO on the 2nd domain?

First nt domain has an exchange server and is working fine. 2nd nt domain gives you the error you have described below when trying to install a exchange server. Have you created a 2 way trust between the win2k domain and the 2nd nt domain. Can you get to the win2k dc cia pinging it by FQDN. Does your first nt domain have a trust with win2k domain. Also just curious if you are running in native mode why not just convert 2nd nt domain to a AD domain. But make sure there are trusts setup between ll these domains that might be worth looking into and also make sure you can get to the DC using its FQDN. Let us know if this helped. -----Original Message----- From: Microsoft Exchange List Server [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, August 08, 2002 7:59 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: domainprep on 2nd nt domain that belongs to a forest Greetings, MSX2000+SP3+native mode W2K+SP3+native mode 1 forest , two diferent NTdomains NT domain 1 has exchange server already installed and working, our intention is to install MSX2000 in the 2nd Nt domain, we ran /domainprep 9on the 2nd ntdomain), we got setup is unable to access the windows 2000 active directory failed to contact the schema master server for this active directory forest on MSX2000 Ntdomain-1 I have delegated FullExchadmin admin to the account of NTdomain-2 and also added as local admin of DC-1, still get the same error. any ideas? thanks, -er _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
