Are you trying to install this ina exchange 2003 org or this is a fresh deployment?To me , it looks like some permission issue. Have a look into this http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/936907/en-usAlso make sure you have elevated permission (if you are logged in with any account other then admin acccount) on server 2008.Raj

Hi Raj, this is the third exchange server in our org, the other 2 is exchange 2003 sp2. I have go thru the doc you above and the /prepareAD says completed. Also I am using Administrator to do all the work. Thanks

Hi, For error Error code 0X80071392 (5010): The object already exists. Please follow the steps below check the issue 1. Please check the permission on CN=All Address Lists, CN=Address Lists Container, CN=Orgname, CN=Microsoft Exchange CN=Services ,CN=Configuration If any deny permission has been granted,then remove them and then re-install exchange. 2. Please check the article below to see if you have the organizational unit which named as "Microsoft Exchange System Objects". Please rename them. XADM: "0x80071392" Error Message Occurs and Domain Prep Fails http://support.microsoft.com/kb/296938 3. Please ensure that the OS for this computer is clean installed not from any ghost. Besides, I recommend you to run ExBPA to have a readiness check before we begin to install Exchange Server. Note: You can also see this problem if the permissions are incorrect on any of the following objects in Active Directory. CN=All Address Lists,CN=Address Lists Container,CN=OrgName,CN=Microsoft Exchange CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=Domain,DC=Domain CN=Default Global Address List,CN=All Global Address Lists,CN=Address Lists Container,CN=ORG,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=DOMAIN,DC=DOMAIN CN=All Global Address Lists,CN=Address Lists Container,CN=ORG,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=DOMAIN,DC=DOMAIN CN=Address Lists Container,CN=ORG,CN=Microsoft Exchange,CN=Services,CN=Configuration,DC=DOMAIN,DC=DOMAIN Regards, Xiu
