[ERROR] Could not find the Organization Container.
Hi,
Hopefully somebody can help, I have wasted a whole afternoon!
I am trying to install Exchange 2007 server from fresh on Windows 2003 SP2 64bit.
I get as far as this error:
[ERROR] Could not find the Organization Container.
whether I try to install from the GUI or from command prompt. I am logged in as the domain admin.
There seems to be virtually no info on the web for this error! please can someone advise what to do.
Thanks,
Tom
