Hi Everyone I'm trying to set up a test network using vmware on a Windows 2000 server. I've set up 2 domain controllers and several other servers, but am having problems setting up Exchange 5.5 on a Windows 2000 virtual machine (set up as a member server in the domain).
The error I'm getting is as follows: While attending to stop the Microsoft Exchange System Attendant service, the following error was encountered: the requested control is not valid for this service. Microsoft Windows NT ID 0xc002041c This occurs after the files are copied to the virtual server (ie I've nearly got to the end of a normal install). After it's happened (I've tried several times!), the Exchange services services are present but not started (you can't start them manually). There's no entry in the Control panel Add remove/software to enable easy removal to allow another installation attempt, but I've tried manual removal of the exchange registry entries without success. I've also tried on another virtual machine with a clean W2K installation with the same results. The machines have 256M memory, and we're using the host-only networking configuaration. The Microsoft KB simply says they don't support this and the vmware support KB doesn't appear to have anything relevant. I seem to remember a couple of people on this list saying they used vmware, so how did you do it?!
