RE: Exchange 2007 on new Win2008x64 Hyper-v won't install...

Hi Steve,

I think the 'source' error is only referring to the event log.... I don't
think it's referring to the install source - but copy the whole CD to the c:
drive anyway just to be sure....

Have you done the domain preps?

I've got a lab (aka: home) with an established Win2k3 / Exchange 2k3
environment that's working fine.

I installed a brand new server for 2008x64 (AMD x64 Quad-core with 6 gigs
RAM) and have sucessfully moved a couple pre-existing VMs over to the
Hyper-V environment, but now I'm trying to create a new Exchange 2007
server...

The server comes up fine, and I did get through the prerequisites as listed
on the setup wizard. I also found reference to turning on remote
administrative roles, which I did. I am logged in as a domain admin, but
when I try to hit "step 4: Install Microsoft Exchange", it starts, then
quickly tells me:

"Setup Failed due to insufficient permissions. Please make sure the current
user has local administrator permissions. Error: The source was not
found, but some or all event logs could not be searched. Inaccessible log:
Security."

Even though it makes no sense, I put my domain account in the local
administrators group, and I have made sure I can get to the security event
log. I'm not sure what this thing is trying to tell me.. Regarding "Source
not found", I have the install media mounted virtually from an ISO, but it
seems to be reading it fine..

Anyone have a clue what this could be? I can't believe I'm having this
problem, and haven't seen anyone else post about it!!

Thanks in advance!
