Hi, Can you ping your PDC from this server where u want to install Exchange? Also run this command on on this server in windows command prompt to see whether it returns the name of PDC. NETDOM QUERY /D:YourDomain PDC Dont forget to put Your AD Domain name instead of YourDomain. Also I would recommend to install Exchange 2007 SP2.

Hi, Could you please paste the setup log here? Please run "DCdiag.exe /v" and 'Netdiag.exe /v" command on the problematic server to see if there is any failed tests in the result. Thanks, Elvis
