Re: Exchange 5.5 -> 2003 upgrade problem

Hi,

Are you using the domain administrator account?

And it is this domain administrator account that has service account admin
permissions On the Organization, site and configuration objects in exchange
5.5?

Yes...all permissions were verified. I have a previous question that is
still unanswered:

How do I make the account I am logged onto the new server have admin
priveleges on the old server? If I am using Administrator on both
machines
with the same password, should the user on the new server have translated
rights on the old server?

Did you verify that those permissions were setup correctly? I assume you
did, but the error indicates that you have a permissions error.
Logon to the Exchange 5.5 server with that account and check that the
permissions are all correct.

The user "Administrator" has Service Admin privs on all of those
containers
on 5.5. I am logged in as Administrator on both servers and the
permissions
issue persists.

He was talking about the rights in Exchange.
Administrator of the machine, Administrator of the Exchange ORG, Site,
and
Config (in Exchange). You can check this by opening the 5.5
administration
tool and checking the account permissions at each of those levels.

When you say "account you're using", I'm not sure I know what you
are
talking
about because I am using the user "Administrator" on the new server
and
Administrator has all of those priviledges on the old server. What
else
could it be? Should I create a new user and give that user all of
those
priviledges?

Thanks for your help.

you're
missing rights on the Configuration object.

I have two servers:
Old NT 4.0 running Exchange 5.5 SP4
New Server 2003 R2

I'm using the deployment tools that came on the CD of Exchange
2003.
I
have
completed phase 1 & 2 and am at the point of installing Exchange.
I
start
the wizard, select "Joining and existing Exchange Domain", put in
the
name
of
the old server (agena) and it comes back with the following error
message:

"To upgrad your Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 or to add a new
server
to
an
existing Microsoft Exchange Site, the account you are logged on
as
must
have
Admin permissions on the Site and Configuration objects."

The ADC worked and all public folders and users have come over to
the
new
server, so I know that the trust is working, but I don't
understand
the
error
message.

At first, I created a user on both machines called "console" and
gave
them
all the appropriate rights respectively and identical passwords.
The
ADC
was
setup with this user as was the rest of the process (forest prep,
domain
prep, etc.) without problem.

I have since rerun Forest prep with the account "Administrator",
reset
the
ADC to use Administrator (it works too) - again with identical
passwords -
but the same error comes up.

Anyone know what this is about?
