I am in the middle of installing a new system for a customer. The existing environment is a MS Server 2003 Standard server with Exchange 2003.
I ran through the Migration Tool on the source server and created the answer file. I then performed the installation in Migration mode and Received the errors:
Exchange Server 2010 Cannot Be Installed
Critical and security updates cannot be installed.
Incoming and outgoing e-mail for Microsoft Sharepoint Foundation are not configured.
I tried to research this issue, but it looks like there can be many different causes for this problem and after checking to see that I was different from the first few causes I looked into, I decided it might be best to reach out for help.
I do not have the error about "[REQUIRED] Access control list (ACL) inheritance is blocked " that many people have received.
It also looks like I have successfully completed becoming a DC as well.
The end of the Exchangesetup.log says:
The Exchange Server setup operation didn't complete. More details can be found in ExchangeSetup.log located in the <SystemDrive>:\ExchangeSetupLogs folder.
I'm not sure why it is telling me to look into the ExchangeSetup.log for more details, when this is the file that I am looking in already.
I would really like to be able to solve this issue, restoring from backup would be difficult as the previous IT company is unwilling to share the backup systems password. =(
Please advise, I can send logs or post them here as desired. Thanks.
