Re: Exchange install failed

Hi Scott,


We are doing a SCC, and not CCR. I don't see where in SCC documentation it
says that the cluster account needs to be given domain permissions, although
it may be somewhere. In fact the cluster itself passed all readiness checks
in the failover cluster administrator.

Also, now that this is done, how do we recover? I try to reinstall
Exchange, but all the roles are greyed out. I then tried to uninstall it,
but all the roles are also greyed out, and the server thinks it is a passive
node.

Thanks,


Kurt

Installing the first node of the Active-Passive Exchange cluster failed
with
an error that the computer account for the Exchange virtual server could
not
be created in the domain. Looking at the event log I see an error that
the
Cluster resource did not have permissions in the domain to create the
virtual
server computer in the Computers OU. The Virtual server was created in
failover cluster manager (this is 2008), but I could not bring it online.
I
then created an account and as the event log suggested I gave the cluster
resource full control over the virtual server computer account in AD.
This
allowed me to bring it online. But I have no database, and who knows what
else was not installed.

Where is it listed that it is a requirement for the cluster resource
computer object to have these permissions? Did I miss something. I have
read so much documentation. Now I am left with a system in who knows what
state. Is there any way out of this, other than starting from scratch?

Thanks for any input?


Kurt
