Re: Exchange install failed

Sorry, meant to point you to http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb125149(EXCHG.80).aspx. This the SCC planning content.

To recover, just configure the appropriate permissions and re-start Setup.

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
