XADM: Installing Exchange Server Allows Selection of Group (146504)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange Server 4.0
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.0
- Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5
This article was previously published under Q146504 SYMPTOMS
When you run the Microsoft Exchange Server Setup program, you are prompted
to select the Services account. When you select Browse, a dialog box opens
with all the accounts that are defined in your domain. You can select any
account, including the Domain Admins group or any other group.
RESOLUTION
When the server setup program finishes copying all the files to your server
and Setup is installing services and modifying the registry, it tries to
start the Microsoft Exchange Service Attendant service. You will receive an
error that the service did not start due to a logon failure. When you click
OK, another dialog box appears, stating that the account information is
incorrect. When you click OK again, you are prompted to select another
account to be the Services account. After you select another account (one
that is not a group), Setup will continue and finish successfully.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
