1. Yes. you need to install ADC and configure CAs before the exchange 2003 installation 2. Yes. you can install ADC on a domain controller Also, take a look at my following article: http://www.**--****.com/ Here are some good MS KB articles: http://www.**--****.com/ ;en-us;823601 http://www.**--****.com/ -- Santhosh Sivarajan | MCSE (W2K3/W2K/NT4), MCSA (W2K3/W2K/MSG), CCNA Houston, TX http://www.**--****.com/ http://www.**--****.com/
1.ADC Tools errors after installing ADC
We have a Windows 2003 AD structure with an empty root domain, and several child domains under that root. We have installed Exchnage 2003 ADC in one of the child domains, and have (apparently) successful connectors to each of our 8 Exchange 5.5 servers (1 in local child 2K3 domain, 7 in other trusted NT4 domains). A couple of weeks have passed, and all the Exchange 5.5 servers appear to have replicated with the new server which will run Exchange 2003 Enterprise. However, the ADC Tools still say that there are unreplicated objects, but give no clue as to which ones. The messages from ADCTools.log are: Current user is 'Exchange Service\PAPPASTV' on computer 'VIS2K3XCH0001' ADC object replication verify 06/01/2004 15:56:48 Warning: The Exchange 5.5 directory still contains objects that are not replicated to Active Directory. If you have just run Connection Agreement Wizard, allow time for directory replication to complete, and then rerun the verification task in Step 4. Otherwise, run the Connection Agreement Wizard. Warning: Active Directory still contains objects that are not replicated to the Exchange 5.5 directory. If you have just run Connection Agreement Wizard, allow time for directory replication to complete, and then rerun the verification task in Step 4. Otherwise, run the Connection Agreement Wizard. When we run Exchange Setup, we get a warning message "strongly recommending" that we fix the problems. How can I figure out what objects are not replicating? Or do I need to worry about this message at all?
HI, I don't have any nt4 dc's and in fact we are running 2003. I have a 2000 exchange cluster currently with one server being shutdown for over 9 months. I am now trying to move to a 2003 standalone server and I am ready to go but when I started the exchange install it won't go because it tells me the ADC connectors are not updated. I don't have 5.5 or nt4 and I am sure this is just left over from some messy people before me. I have searched everywhere and in LDP I see some references to an old dc but I am not comfortable on how to remove the entries to just that. I also don't know why adc is runnign because it isn't installed on the exchange servers?
3.Error installing ADC connector...
All, I'm attempting to install the ADC connector on a W2K3 member server (XCHNG2K3_SERVER) in DOMAINB. After I select my Site credentials (to attach to XCHNG 5.5 servers) and then enter in my Domain credentials and press next...the summary page then shows the following error information: ----------------------- ADC Tools encountered errors updating some connection agreements. Please check that your logged on account has full permissions on the ADC connection agreement container. Error: Connection Agreement Wizard could not contact the ADC server XCHNG2K3_SERVER to set the connection agreements credentials for DOMAINB\User. Please ensure that Active Directory Connector is running and can be contacted from this computer. Then rerun the Connection Agreement Wizard. iADCI.SetPassword returned 0x800706BE Method '~' of object '~' failed Error: Connection Agreement Wizard could not contact the ADC server XCHNG2K3_SERVER to set the connection agreements credentials for DOMAINB\User. Please ensure that Active Directory Connector is running and can be contacted from this computer. Then rerun the Connection Agreement Wizard. iADCI.SetPassword returned 0x800706BE Method '~' of object '~' failed ----------------------- More Info: XCHNG2K3_SERVER ...This has been changed by me in above error description...actually has our XCHNG server name DOMAINB\User...This has been changed by me in above error description...this account is a domain account who is in the Domain Admins of DOMAINB Also in the event log on the XCHANG2K3_SERVER is the following error: -------------------------- Event ID: 8187 Source: MSADC Category: Replication The following error has occurred when trying to read a password from the LSA Private Store. Error number: 0xc0000022. Description: ''. ---------------------------- It seems to be some sort of permission issue of some sorts??? Is it trying to get to local LSA or domain LSA database??? Any thoughts on why this is occurring? I can't get any further of course until I can get the ADC installed. Thanks in advance. Shawn
4.Permission Issue while installing ADC for Exchange 2003
All, AD Migration in progress ------------------ DomainA: AD Empty Forest Root (W2K3) DomainB (Migrating to): Child domain (W2K3), User domain (XPProSP2), New XCHNG 2K3 SP1 domain DomainC (Migrating from): NT 4 SP6, old User domain, existing XCHNG 5.5 SP4 ------------------- Already ran DCDIAG, NETDIAG, Forest Prep, Domain Prep, OrgPrepCheck...all successful... I'm attempting to install the ADC connector for XCHNG 2003 in DomainB as an account that is a member of ENTERPRISE ADMINISTRATOR (i.e. DomainA account)...however, I get the following error: ------- You must be a member of the Administrators group to run Microsoft Active Directory Connector Setup. ID no: c10361bf Microsoft Active Directory Connector Setup ------- How do I get DomainA 'Enterprise Admins' into DomainB 'Domain Admins'? It's in DomainB Administrators group...what am I missing? I looked at Article ID: 253286 More info will be provided as necessary... Thanks in advance. Shawn
Does it matter where you install the ADC? Could it be installed onto DC or should it be installed onto the Exchange 2003 Server? What is the recommended approach? Thanks, Luc
