Have you run ADC already? If not, then this is probably your problem. Essentially, you have to use ADC to clone your Exchange 5.5 site services account into AD. E2K needs this in order to join your existing Exchange 5.5 site. This is because E2K cannot use NT4 accounts, so you have to clone your E55 site services account to make it an W2K/AD security principle. Once this is done, you can use this account to provide pass-thru authentication to your E55 environment.
Here is a decent document: http://www.microsoft.com/exchange/techinfo/deployment/2000/SixSteps.doc Also, be certain to read all of your ADC documentation (you want the E2K, not the W2K version of the ADC) Also, there are tons of books out there that give step-by-step instructions for setting this up and configuring it. If you have already installed, configured and are sync'ing using ADC, then read through the documentation and find your permissions issue. There are a lot of nit-picky little permissions things that can foul this up and you have to get all the details right. Did you set this up and test it out in your test lab? > Trying to run /forestprep and when I goto join an existing 5.5 site, it asks > me for a server name from the 5.5 Site, and when I enter it it comes back > with an error stating I don't have the permissions required to complete the > operation. Has anyone come accross this, or able to lend a helping hand. > > Chris _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:leave-exchange@;ls.swynk.com Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
