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

Thanks for the response... Right after my post, I actually did copy the
whole source disk local just to exclude that as a problem... same result.

Looking at the link you provided (thanks!) I tried the "Setup
/PrepareLegacyExchangePermissions" and it gave me the same error in the
command prompt window, as what I got from the GUI before...: So, that
apparently is the cause of my problem... Still dont know the root cause, or
solution though.. According to:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa997914(EXCHG.80).aspx that
command can be run on the server which will later run Exchange (which I
presume is what the setup is trying to do) but it fails on that machine and
on a new 2008 DC I installed in the domain. I also tried, just to make
sure, on a 2003 DC, and was told that the app wasn't compatible w/ that OS
(presumably, it's x64 I guess)..

Any idea why that would fail?? It seems from the description, to be a
fairly straight forward rights modification process..

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!
