Ok guys,

here is what I did.

1. Reinstalled my server W2003 (did not do any patch update or anything)
2. Promoted the server to DC
3. Installed IIS with SMTP, NNTP and ASP.NET
4. Installed E2003

I just finish installing it and the process went without errors. There are
now my 2 exchange server on the network and everything seems to be working
fine.

Anyway, I will go finish the configuration now. I hope this might help
someone out there!

Jacques.
