XADM: You May Receive an Error Message and Not Be Able to Upgrade from Exchange Server 5.5 to Exchange 2000 Server (811913)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server
- Microsoft Exchange 2000 Enterprise Server
SYMPTOMSWhen you upgrade a server and site from Microsoft Exchange
Server 5.5 to Exchange 2000 Server, you must run the Forestprep command on the
domain controller. When you run Forestprep and select the Join or
Upgrade Microsoft Exchange 5.5 site option, you must specify the
server name. If you specify a server and site other than the server and site
that you want to upgrade, you may not be able to upgrade, and you may receive
the following error message: The
component "Microsoft Exchange Messaging and Collaboration Services" cannot be
assigned the action "Upgrade" because: - Setup has detected that the Exchange
5.5 site your server belongs to has not replicated to the Active Directory yet.
You can either wait for replication to complete and try the upgrade again or
upgrade a server from a site that has already been replicated to the Active
Directory. CAUSEThis behavior occurs because Active Directory only
recognizes the server and site that you specify . RESOLUTIONTo resolve this behavior, when you run Forestprep and select
the Join or Upgrade Microsoft Exchange 5.5 site option, make
sure that you specify the server and site name that you want to upgrade from
Exchange Server 5.5 to Exchange 2000for Forestprep .STATUS This
behavior is by design.
