Exchange 5.5 on vmware server
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?!

RE: Exchange 5.5 on vmware server
Yes, this is purely for testing. There are separate vmware machines to handle the different functions, simulating the production machines. The particular virtual machine I'm having problems with is only running W2K as a member server.

Most times I see VMare is for testing not anything else. I have setup up Exchange 5.5 on Windows 2000 on a separate server as part of a network that had a VMware server handling all the DNS, DHCP and Domain controller functions. That worked fine. Sounds like too many things running causing memory, ports, etc. running for limited resources. - Original Message - From: Jackson, Cathy M [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Exchange Discussions [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 28, 2002 12:36 PM Subject: Exchange 5.5 on vmware server Hi Everyone I'm trying to set up a test network using vmware on a Windows 2000 server.

GAL permissions problem
Hi folks, We've got an Exchange organisation here with 2 sites, each with a server running Exchange 5.5 SP4. There are 2 domains, the boundaries of which are the same as the sites, connected by a 2-way trust. Connectivity between the sites/domains is very good (lan speeds), we are set up this way for organisational/historical/political reasons, not technical ones. There is a site connector between the sites. We have a problem in one of the 2 sites, in that most users found one day that they could not see the GAL. Domain admins in this site could. This site runs in an NT4 domain. There were no GAL problems visible in the connected site. An additional problem discovered slightly later is that the only users in the second site who could see the calendars of users in the site with problems were those logged in to their domain with admin rights. Users in this second site are in a W2K native-mode domain. I do not directly administer either the Exchange server or the NT domain controllers in the site with the GAL problem. I'm assured that this happened suddenly without anyone making any changes, I'm not sure whether to take my colleages' word for this! We've not seen any problem with the mail flow between the sites, nor have any non-Exchange problems been reported, as far as I know. Directory replication between the sites appears fine. Anyone got any ideas where I should start looking? Initial research on Technet suggests problems with Address Book Views (Q173760, Q248398), but although there is an ABV set up, this has never been used. We have checked the rights on this and no-one has been explicitly given rights. In addition, we are not seeing the abnormal CPU ultilizations associated with ABV storms.
