OK, quick update - I flattened the new server and reinstalled, went through exactly the same procedure and failed again but differently now - adprep /rodcprep fails so I think I missed this step out before L
The server in question wasn't in ADUC or Sites/Services but it did exist in ADSIedit This leads me to believe there was a removal of a failed DC in the past I'm now looking to this - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949257 <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/949257> to change the fSMORoleOwner but the script isn't working for me NETDOM QUERY FSMO works and points to a real DC that is working, but as the script fails from the KB C:\>cscript fixfsmo.vbs DC=DomainDnsZones,DC=nemesisgb,DC=local Microsoft (R) Windows Script Host Version 5.6 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation 1996-2001.

The two things I pointed out are the only obvious things (to me). I would check and ensure those two objects in ADSIedit have the proper permissions. Please run ExBPA and the server installation checker. They may help. Regards, Michael B.

Smith [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 02 December 2010 16:40 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: Exchange 2010 installation First of all, I recommend you install SP1, not RTM. Secondly, look in your AD (using ADSIEdit or LDP) and see if you have a LostAndFound container in your Configuration naming context and whether it contains anything. Let us know. Regards, Michael B.
