Add Exchange Administrator Error - Delegating rights
Hi All, At customer site E2K3 - E2K7 transition. AD Prepped, 1st CAS installed no other roles installed as yet. Customer wants to add some Global Security Groups to say, the Exchange Org Admin Role. Ran the EMC wizard on the CAS server (Add Exchange Administrator) with a user with Root domain rights The site has several child domains, EU, US etc and at present we are only working on the EU domain Error received was : Active Directory operation failed on domaincontroller.root.domain.com The error is not retrievable. Additional information: The specific account does not exist. Active directory response: 00000525:NameErr: DSID-031A0F80. problem 2001 (NO_OBJECT), data 0, best match of: " The object does not exist. Exchange Management Shell command attempted: Add-ExchangeAdministrator -Identity 'eu.root.domain.com/Accounts/Groups/Global Groups/Exadmins' -Role 'OrgAdmin Any ideas ? Cheers, LM

RockSlow, Thanks, I have seen that article but that's not what we are trying to do. We were just trying to add a Global Security Group as a Exchange 2007 Org Admin, so that all users in that group would be Exchange 2007 Org Admins Doing this gave the error above.. Does that make sense ? Cheers, LM

All, Update. Seemed to fix the error. Found a thread with a similar error that mentioned AD GC's. Got me thinking. The domain controller mentioned above is not a GC I selected in the EMC "Modify Configuration Domain Controller and just selected the Root domain. Adding the Global Group as Ex Org Admins worked fine.. Cheers LM
